PAC-MAN technology is composed of the virus-killing #enzyme Cas13 and a strand of guide RNA, which commands Cas13 to destroy specific nucleotide sequences in the #SARS_CoV_2 genome.
The colorimetric based #MIT technology can detect the #SARS_CoV_2 within 20 minutes using nanoparticle-bound #antibodies against a specific viral protein.
The first step in the clinical development of #Moderna's #mRNA vaccine against #SARS_CoV_2 (mRNA-1273) is being conducted by #NIH under its own Investigational New Drug application.
