Overview
The expertise of the Center for Innovations in Medicine is built on a history of innovation. New efforts are being applied into three major projects.
The first, called genomes to vaccines, aims to create subunit vaccines from pathogen genomes. The researchers’ invention of the gene gun, genetic immunization, expression library immunization and linear expression elements make this goal feasible. With enough of these pathogen-based vaccines, the center aims to discover the rules to predict the best vaccine for any pathogen.
Doc-in-a-box, the center’s second initiative, is to create a household instrument to measure personal biosignatures ... Read more »
