Virus-Hijacking COVID-19 Drug from Gladstone Researchers Slows Down Variants, Expects Clinical Trial Early Next Year

San Francisco Business Times—Senior Investigator Leor Weinberger, PhD, pioneered a new class of antivirals called therapeutic interfering particles (TIPs), which were recently shown to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 in animal models. The approach is now being developed by a startup company and will be headed to clinical trials.

How Effective Are Today’s Vaccines against Omicron? Here’s What We Know So Far

San Francisco Chronicle—The omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is spreading rapidly, but it may not be a reason for panic. Nadia Roan explains that our immune system’s cellular response to the vaccines should hold up well against the omicron variant. In addition, Warner Greene predicts that if the variant spreads rapidly but causes just mild disease, it might actually help establish immunity globally, protecting people in places where vaccine access has been limited.

Bay Area Scientists Rush to Study Local Omicron Virus Samples for Health Clues

San Francisco Chronicle—The identification of an individual infected with the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in San Francisco is helping local scientists assess the danger posed by the virus. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that experiments using virus samples from that individual could help determine how well the available vaccines hold up to Omicron’s mutations.

Do COVID Vaccines Work against Omicron? What We Know So Far

San Francisco Chronicle—The emerging Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 features several mutations in its spike protein that in theory could make it resistant to current vaccines. But Associate Investigator Nadia Roan, PhD, explains that current vaccines will still protect against Omicron, as they elicit a variety of antibodies and immune T cells that target non-mutated areas of spike.
