New AI tool can predict

Covid-19 mutation and


vaccine efficacy

Know More
DID YOU KNOW?

The machine-learning model


can accomplish vaccine design
cycles that once took months
or years in a matter of seconds
and minutes

Acc. to study by University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering


DID YOU KNOW?

When applied to SARS-CoV-2


(the virus that causes
Covid-19)

the model quickly eliminated 95 per cent of the


compounds that could have possibly treated
the pathogen and pinpointed the best options.
DID YOU KNOW?

Researchers say, if the virus


becomes uncontrollable by
current vaccines,

then USC's AI-assisted method can be used to


design other preventive mechanisms quickly
DID YOU KNOW?

For example, the study


explains that

the USC scientists used only one B-cell epitope


and one T-cell epitope, whereas applying a
bigger dataset and more possible combinations
can develop a more comprehensive and quicker
vaccine design tool.
DID YOU KNOW?

Moreover, the engineers can


construct a new vaccine for a
new virus in less than a
minute and validate its
quality within an hour
DID YOU KNOW?

This model can be adapted to


help us stay ahead of the
coronavirus as it mutates
around the world
