Jackson Lab adds COVID-19 to 2021 research slate
BAR HARBOR The Jackson Laboratory has received millions of dollars in grants for its research projects across a range of fields: Alzheimer’s, cancer, rare diseases, cardiovascular diseases and COVID-19. The research institute pivoted last year to help with the COVID-19 effort, including processing tests for 60,000 Mainers at its Farmington, Conn., campus. It also offered cryopreservation services for mouse models to universities, freezing mouse sperm and eggs in tanks of liquid nitrogen.
But the 70-plus researchers and faculty housed in facilities in Bar Harbor, Farmington, Conn., Sacramento, Calif., and Ellsworth still carried on their work, said Ken Fasman, Ph.D., senior vice president for research. “The things we are trying to study at the labs, these haven’t gone away, and we need this work to continue.”
Patients arrive at the White Horse Health Centre to receive their Covid vaccination Photo: Trevor Porter 67202-2 A WILTSHIRE pensioner says the NHS Covid-19 vaccine roll-out should be taking place at non-medical centres. The NHS has ramped up the nationwide mass roll-out programme by increasing the number of vaccination centres available for people to use. There are now two vaccines available to protect patients – the Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer-BioNTech. The Moderna vaccine has now been licensed for use and will be available later this year. Bob Burgess, who lives at Heytesbury near Warminster, says the NHS should not be using local GP surgeries and health centres for the mass vaccination programme.
