HOOKIPA Announces Positive Phase 2 Interim Safety, Immunogenicity, and Efficacy Data for its Cytomegalovirus Vaccine Candidate HB-101

The Pharma Data

Early interim data show Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-negative kidney transplant recipients vaccinated with three doses of HB-101 had reduced incidence of CMV viremia, reduced antiviral use and no CMV disease. 21 participants were vaccinated with HB-101 and 12 received placebo. NEW YORK and VIENNA, Austria, Nov.

Levers for Biological Progress

Such models will, in turn, make it much easier to invent the sorts of platform tools that Amodei asserts “drive >50% of progress in biology,” such as CRISPR and mRNA vaccines, because the creation of these tools ultimately derive from a deeper understanding of how cells work. If we could get E.

The First Patented G.M.O.

Codon

Modern biotechnology began in 1972 when biochemists at Stanford University spliced together DNA from two different organisms. The race to exploit recombinant DNA technology was on. Chakrabarty genetically cross-linked the plasmids using X-rays and then placed the newly assembled sequence into Pseudomonas putida.

Codon Digest: Agents Design Proteins

And experiments at Tune Therapeutics showed that CRISPR epigenome editing — which doesn’t cut DNA at all, but merely silences genes by adding chemical groups to them — can curb “bad cholesterol” by more than 50% in monkeys. These tools do not cut or nick DNA, and so they may be safer than other options.
