Change in vaccination plans for South Africa, as new variant escape neutralizing antibodies and decrease efficacy of vaccines. We need to come up with next-generation vaccines that take account the variants and stimulate other parts of the immune system. latimes.com/science/story/…

Read out our recently findings on the genomic characterisation of a SARS-CoV-2 reinfection case involving E484K spike mutation in Brazil. Huge privilege to work with such amazing scientist Bruno Solano!Thank you so much Bruno for bringing us together!
