On November 26, the World Health Organization designated the strain of coronavirus surging in South Africa a “variant of concern” and christened it Omicron. The next day, University of British ...

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Network Open, researchers investigate clinical symptoms and brain structural changes that occur during the acute phase of severe acute respiratory ...

The first molecular-level analysis of Omicron’s spike protein reveals mutation-induced chemical bonds are behind the new SARS-CoV-2 variant’s increased transmissibility and antibody evasion.

The world's first molecular-level structural analysis of the Omicron variant spike protein has been created by an Indian-origin researcher. The world's first molecular-level structural analysis of the ...

The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron family of variants differs from the original isolates as well as other variants. Omicron viruses contain a minimum of 30 mutations in the Spike protein and another 23 elsewhere ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* pre-print server, researchers used cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine the structure of the spike (S) protein of BA.2 sub-variant of the ...

An Indian-origin researcher at University of British Columbia (UBC) has created the world's first molecular-level structural analysis of the Omicron variant spike protein. Published in the Science ...

An Indian-origin researcher at University of British Columbia (UBC) in Canada has created the world's first molecular-level structural analysis of the Omicron variant spike protein. Published in the ...

Findings show strong antibody evasion and binding with human cells that contribute to increased transmissibility—and that vaccination remains the best defence UBC researchers are the first in the ...
