Using Algae to Make a Vaccine Against COVID-19

COVID-19 is the biggest event of the year with an enormous effect on the world's economic health and public well-being. This virus will ultimately be defeated by a vaccine which should be generally available in the next 12-18 months.

There is a race on among at least 83 vaccine manufactures as to who will get to the market first and who will have the most efficacious vaccine. We at Transalgae have a unique platform to tackle this problem. Our plan is to put a piece of the spike viral protein pictured above inside our favorite algal species, grow the algae out to commercial quantities and then give an algae pill with the vaccine inside.
