Objectives
Rapid generation of a safe and effective vaccine to induce strong protective immunity against the new coronavirus (CoV). SARS-CoV2, represents one of the essential key measures to control the ongoing pandemic, alleviate morbidity and mortality and prevent further disseminations of outbreaks. Taking advantage of two HKU-patented vaccine platforms, we aim to develop quickly preventive flu-based and PD1-based vaccines targeting the SARS-CoV2 receoptor-binding domain (RBD) for humans.
