Summary:
‘Super molecule’ has been shown in the lab to neutralize SARS-CoV-2, stopping the virus before it invades host cells.

TORONTO - A research team led by The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) has developed a ‘super molecule’ that combines potent antibodies to neutralize SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The molecule was shown to have up to 10,000 times more potency compared to conventional antibodies and an ability to address virus variants, important tools in the fight against infectious diseases like COVID-19. This promising research is now being taken from the lab into pre-clinical development. The study was published in Nature Communications on June 16, 2021.
Since the onset of the pandemic, studies around the world have focused on using monoclonal antibodies – immune proteins typically originating from humans that can be produced at large scale in the lab – to target the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2. Le ...

Five-year-old Scarlett gets a virtual tour of SickKids labs
Throughout her time at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), five-year-old Scarlett has been curious about blood draws and what happens when her blood is sent to the lab for tests. Scarlett’s parents and care team planned a virtual tour of the Department of Paediatric Laboratory Medicine as a “gift” to her as she nears the end of her chemotherapy journey and to help foster Scarlett’s interest and curiosity.

Touring the Biochemistry, Haematology, and Microbiology labs, Scarlett says her favourite part of the virtual tour was when the blood was stained from red to purple for analysis. “I got to see how they turn the blood into different colours!”
This Child and Family-Centred Care Week, we recognize our amazing staff for going the extra mile for Scarlett. Answering her questions in this engaging way is just one example of how SickKids staff deliver care that is centred ons ...
