Dubai: A Filipino-American scientist hopes to beat the coronavirus with a vaccine developed using baker’s yeast. By using bio-engineered yeast, the common single-celled fungal cells, Rev. Nicanor Austriaco hopes to transform COVID into a common cold. “The goal from this scrappy vaccine is not to prevent you from getting COVID. It’s actually to prevent you from getting severe COVID that will require hospitalisations,” the churchman-scientist told Gulf News.
Pre-clinical development
Rev. Austriaco, 52, earned his doctorate degree in yeast molecular biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His COVID-19 shot is currently in pre-clinical development in the US. A license to conduct clinical trials will be sought in the Philippines, the home of his ancestors, after the “mouse work” (test on animals), he added. He currently consults with the Manila government on the coronavirus pandemic response.
As the number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in Metro Manila is feared to further increase due to the rapid spread of the UK COVID variant, the OCTA Research Team recommended that health care workers get themselves inoculated immediately to boost their immunity from the virus. (Photo by
