New strategy for COVID-19 prophylaxis?

The Pharma Data

Actually, these systems could identify viral genetic material (here: Ribonucleic acids/RNAs) and sound the alarm. Proteins of SARS-CoV-2 can alter viral ribonucleic acids in a way, that they become indistinguishable from endogenous RNA. Camouflage protects virus from immune system.

Investment fuels AI-driven development of breakthrough genomic medicines

pharmaphorum

Now, he leads Whitelab Genomics as its artificial intelligence (AI) platform powers the development of genomic therapies – an emerging field in which genetic sequences are injected into cells to target and repair damaged genes. The payload, Del Bourgo tell us, is the therapeutic DNA or RNA sequence that will cure or fix damaged cells.
