Novel Synthesis Method Aids Rapid Testing of Vaccine Strategies against Respiratory Pathogens Source: Robert Hoetink/Fotolia January 20, 2021 Scientists in Australia have developed a method for the rapid synthesis of safe vaccines, and say their approach can be used to create and test potential vaccine strategies against respiratory pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2. Headed by Richard Payne, PhD, at the University of Sydney, and Warwick Britton, PhD, at the Centenary Institute, the research team demonstrated application of their method with the development of a synthetic, self-adjuvanted prote...
