To Conserve and Protect: The Quest for Universal Vaccines

Viruses such as influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are constantly evolving to better infect their hosts. The appearance of new variants often diminishes the effectiveness of existing vaccines that were designed against pre-existing strains.

In this episode, Niki Spahich from The Scientist’s Creative Services Team spoke with Patrick Wilson, a professor at the Gale and Ira Drukier Institute for Children’s Health at Weill Cornell Medicine, to learn about strategies for making universal vaccines that account for pathogen evolution.
