AI-designed 'super-antigen' vaccine shows promise in preventing future pandemics, Cambridge scientists say
By
The National
Summary
Scientists have developed a new vaccine technology using artificial intelligence that could provide immunity against entire families of viruses and protect against future mutations through a single jab. The "super-antigen" is created using machine learning that analyzes past and current outbreaks to identify what is essential for viruses to survive. Researchers at Cambridge believe this approach could prevent pandemics before they begin, saving millions of lives and helping countries avoid lockdowns. A human trial of a coronavirus vaccine made using this technology has shown it to be safe.
