Abstract

To study COVID-19 severity caused by virus escape from vaccines, we will collect and analyze comprehensive data on newly developing mutant strains and patients infected with mutant strains, and validate our findings using animal models. In addition, we will mimic the severity of COVID-19 using humanized mice to advance the search for therapeutic agents.
