A Research Team Co-led by Prof. Matthew McKAY Developed New Method to Identify Adaptive Mutations in Complex Evolving Populations which could Inform HIV Vaccine Design
A research team co-led by Prof. Matthew McKAY "has developed a method to study how HIV mutates to escape the immune system in multiple patients, which could inform HIV vaccine design". The paper was published in Nature Biotchnology on 30 November 2020.
