It brings about a revolution in medicine, creates vaccines that can prevent future pandemics

According to researchers, this is the first time that a vaccine's main component has been fully designed by artificial intelligence and then tested on humans, reports BBCPeriscope broadcast.

The vaccine aims to protect not only from the existing variants of Covid-19 but also from other coronarys that currently circulate in animals and can be passed on to humans in the future.

Experts say traditional vaccines often lag behind the rate of virus mutations, making their continued update necessary. For this very reason, the research team aims to create vaccines that can foresee and neutralise future health threats.

For the development of the vaccine, researchers used genetic data from a large number of coronarys identified through global monitoring programs.

This information was analyzed by artificial intelligence, which created a “super-antigen” capable of training the immune system to recognize and fight an entire family of viruses, even in the event of new mutations.

The first tests were conducted at 39 people and were aimed at verifying the safety of the vaccine.

A second study, with about 200 participants, is expected to provide more data on its effectiveness in strengthening the immune system.

Although initial results show a moderate immune response, the scientific community has been looking forward to this achievement.

Professor Saul Faust of the University of Southampton stated that technology based on artificial intelligence has great potential for developing vaccines against future pandemics.

Meanwhile, researchers are also working on the creation of universal vaccines against seasonal flu, H5N1 bird flu, and dangerous viral diseases like Ebola.

Experts estimate artificial intelligence can become one of the most important tools in medical research, significantly accelerating the development of vaccines and helping save millions of lives in the future.

British officials and directors of scientific institutions have described the project as a major success of modern science, stressing that positive results of the first phase can pave the way for a new era in the fight against infectious diseases. / Periscope/
