Marin Biological Laboratories (MarinBio) and COVID-19
To stem the ever-increasing cases of the Coronavirus pandemic, we need diagnostic tests that can be performed quickly, and we need a vaccine. Both research & development endeavors take valuable time. With the advent of a quick COVID-19 diagnostic test, the spread of this pandemic disease can be ameliorated. With the development of a vaccine, further outbreaks can be prevented. Vaccine development requires (1) identification of an immunogenic relevant protein or other relevant component for transmission, (2) manufacture of the relevant antigen(s), (3) testing in animals to show an immune response, B cell or T cell, (4) demonstration that the immune response is protective. MarinBio is ready to help in all these steps.
With the current shortage of quick COVID-19 tests and vaccines, MarinBio is ready to assist in the development to accelerate the timeline for FDA acceptance and distribution. MarinBio scientists have over 25 years of experience helping our clients to develop, qualify and validate viral or cellular protein or RNA/DNA tests as well as a viral enzyme, anti-inflammatory drug potency assay or other quantitative bioassays.
This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation that MarinBio will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance. For further information please contact MarinBio at [email protected] or call 415 883 8000 or visit our website at www.marinbio.com

Since the Shaw Prize was first presented in 2004, the prestigious annual awards have been presented in three categories: astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences.

The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

At 22, Luca Yang was running a small teaching company in New Zealand after quitting a six-figure finance job that he hated. It had humble beginnings, where he tutored English online for A$25 (US$17.55) per hour just to get by. When one of his students got into Oxford, word spread: one student became 50, then 500. By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
