Crunching the numbers for next-gen COVID-19 vaccines
BARDA tapped a team of Fred Hutch Cancer Center biostatisticians to determine the biomarkers that will serve as predictors of protective responses in next-generation COVID-19 vaccines, as well as the effectiveness of nimble new trial designs. The $17 million award will support analysis of immune responses to an oral pill and nasal spray, as well as two different decentralized trials.
