UL-Lafayette played a part in the creation of Pfizer COVID vaccine

Baton Rouge / louisianaradionetwork.com Feb 10, 2021 7:17 PM UL -Lafayette played a significant role in the testing and protocols for the Pfizer COVID vaccine. The New Iberia Research Center provided valuable data allowing the vaccine clinical trials to progress humans much quicker. NIRC Director of Contract Research Jane Fontenot said it was their primates that assisted. “And before you go into the first human, in clinical trials, that data has to be generated. Those nonhuman primates gave that data to be comfortable that yes the vaccine did induce an antibody response,” said Fontenot. Director of Research at NIRC Dr. Francois Villinger said their previous work with vaccines enabled the trial to know the proper intervals to test for COVID antibodies from the vaccine.
