It is International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Here is a snapshot of some of VIDO’s amazing #WomenInScience that are at the forefront of the fight against #COVID19
New funding from @InnovationCA and @WD_Canada will enable us to complete our pilot-scale manufacturing to accelerate Canadian #COVID19 vaccine development
“We are working to ensure our COVID-19 vaccine advances as rapidly as possible. Proving that the vaccine is effective in ferrets is a key milestone in the development pathway.”
A major milestone: A #COVID19 vaccine candidate developed by the #USask@VIDOInterVac is moving towards human clinical trials after the novel vaccine has proven highly effective in ferrets, one of the commonly used animal models for COVID-19. bit.ly/2ZzxThG
“This is a great example of the international partnerships needed to stop the global spread of this highly contagious virus”
We look forward to working with @IVIHeadquarters
