February 3, 2021 Bioengineering Excellent review of myths of enlisting more companies to make mRNA vaccine by @DerekLowe. Bespoke machines, processes & tech, multiple supply chains, a myriad of Sci & Eng expertise & steps needed before mass production. Many pharma companies can’t do it.
November 10, 2020 Clinical Research Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine news is a press release not a study. No raw data to review, limited transparency, basic questions unanswered, 94 cases, and an overreaction focusing on the claim of 90% efficacy. Validated evidence required to justify the hype.
October 5, 2020 Molecular Medicine Logistics of distributing mRNA vaccines (if approved) will be problematic. Excellent article in @TheAtlantic explains why.
May 8, 2020 Allergy/Immunology Interesting approach using monoclonal antibodies to treat Covid-19 infections. However clinical trials must follow to confirm in vitro findings.
May 5, 2015 Bioengineering New Ottawa immunotherapy company proposes to develop new treatments for cancer
December 16, 2014 Bioengineering New biotherapeutic cancer treatment centre an excellent addition to novel therapeutic solutions
January 27, 2014 Cancer/Oncology Exciting new approach to cancer treatment but human clinical studies required
February 18, 2013 Biomedical Engineering New research and development on needleless vaccine delivery systems shows promise but human trials required
