Abstract

In the absence of an effective COVID-19 vaccine, the world is now facing a pandemic. We plan to create a unique high-performance vaccines for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This project will test and deliver candidate COVID-19 vaccines and clinical tools to address this societal need. If these vaccines are successful, they will be produced safely and efficiently and then mass distributed, at a reasonable cost, and with acceptable shelf-life.
