The three-year project – led by respiratory medicine expert Dr Timothy Hinks from the Oxford University Respiratory Medicine Unit – will use whole-genome sequencing of around 500 patients with severe asthma, comparing their gene sequences with control subjects who don’t have asthma.

The alliance is based on Obsidian’s cytoDRIVE platform, which uses already approved small-molecule drugs alongside gene-editing medicines to control the expression of protein from a gene sequence. For example, adding a small-molecule might stabilise the medicine, allowing levels of the target protein to increase.

The vaccine takes the form of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expressed in virus-like-particles (VLPs), produced in plants that function as mini bioreactors. The purified vaccine is administered alongside GSK’s pandemic adjuvant to boost the immune response.

Once isolated, molecular clones can be used to generate multiple copies of DNA for the analysis of gene sequences and / or to express proteins obtained for the study or utilization of protein function. These clones can be manipulated and mutated in vitro to alter the expression and function of a protein.
