An experimental vaccine designed with the help of artificial intelligence has passed its first human trial. It was found to be safe and well-tolerated, but it is still too early to know whether it will protect against a broad family of coronaviruses.

Researchers from Google and Harvard have developed ERA, an artificial intelligence system that runs and improves thousands of versions of code for scientific tasks. In experiments, it has improved models for predicting coronavirus hospitalizations, integrating single-cell RNA data, and predicting neural activity.

Scientists from the Weizmann Institute and Charles University in Prague have succeeded in simulating in the laboratory, within months, an evolutionary trajectory that resembles the development of the coronavirus throughout an entire pandemic. The research may help in the early identification of dangerous variants and in preparing for pandemics.

A new DNA chip from the Weizmann Institute of Science produces dozens of viral antigens on silicon in a single experiment and rapidly maps the immune “fingerprint” of subjects – a tool that could accelerate the development of tests, vaccines,
