We’re not sharing this information to scare, but instead to inform on the challenges the healthcare industry is facing. With that in mind, below we report on 21 innovative efforts from leading and emerging players in the biotech industry to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
SARS-CoV-2
How Structurally Similar is SARS-CoV-2 to SARS?
Brett Averso (CTO, EVQLV) shows and explains the undeniable structural similarities between SARS-CoV-2 and SARS. We hope this video serves to dispel some of the myths you may have encountered during your search for answers surrounding coronavirus.
Cross-Reactivity between SARS Antibodies and SARS-CoV-2
The SARS antibodies are not cross-reactive with SARS-Cov-2. However, we can potentially use artificial intelligence to design variants of the existing SARS antibodies which are cross-reactive with SARS-CoV-2.
Coronavirus Visualized
Brett Averso, CTO, and I recently had a follow up discussion on our first coronavirus chat. Brett provided visualizations and commentary on coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 with SARS overlay, and antibody fragments to help people better understand the threat we’re currently facing, as well as put it in its proper context. Brett also discussed the role AI can play in finding an effective treatment for COVID-19.
A Discussion on the Coronavirus (SARS-COV-2)
Brett Averso, CTO, and I linked up to discuss the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Brett covered what exactly the coronavirus is, the threat it currently presents, how we can best protect ourselves and our loved ones against infection, and what EVQLV is doing to address the outbreak.
