The rapidly growing COVID-19 global pandemic of has incited a worldwide effort to identify effective preventative strategies and optimal medical treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than physical distancing, frequent hand washing, proper cough etiquette and wearing masks to slow down the spread of this virus, a safe and effective vaccine for COVID-19 may be the only hope of stopping this pandemic, but how long will it take?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the outbreak, the virus was quickly isolated and sequenced. The sequence was released to the global research and experimental development (R&D) community, and the search for vaccines began. There was a quick jump from a few vaccine candidates to 173 candidates in various points in the R&D pipeline. As of July 15, 2020, 33 of these are in clinical evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Science Caf\u00e9, Rud will summarize where we are now and explain the approaches used and challenges with developing a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rud is a research scientist with over 30 years of experience in the academic, biotech, pharmaceutical and government sectors as a virologist. He has worked in many aspects of virology on emerging infectious diseases. His activities range from basic and molecular virology to antiviral and vaccine R&D.
