The cell line, called HeLa, laid the foundation for many groundbreaking discoveries, including vaccines for the human papilloma virus (HPV) and polio; drugs for HIV and cancers; gene mapping; IVF treatment; and more recently, for crucial COVID-19 research. Fittingly, it was also used to develop the vaccine against cervical cancer.

If a pharmaceutical company is racing to identify a new vaccine, for instance, then waiting for three weeks to receive DNA sequences each time can slow down the development process compared to competitors who might have faster timelines.” . The longer the DNA gets, the longer it will take for labs to receive it,” notes Dr Daniels. “If

Pharma has a great opportunity ahead of it when it comes to conducting representative clinical trials. The industry’s application of mRNA techniques during the pandemic led to the fastest vaccine development in history. But our drug development processes are not perfect. The same is true for Asian and Hispanic populations.

Instead of RNA extraction, the Yale test involves use of a reagent that when mixed with a saliva sample and heated for a short period of time, releases the viral genome for subsequent detection with PCR. This is significant because shortages of RNA extraction kits have been a recurrent issue since the beginning of the pandemic.
