Predict Mutants to Create Universal Flu Vaccine, University of Melbourne and Monash University Study
Researchers have found a way to predict and potentially stop the mutating cells of the influenza virus. The finding may lead to a new universal influenza vaccine to better protect against both seasonal and pandemic outbreaks, says Katherine Kedzierska, the study’s senior author and an associate professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne.
