Lokesh Narsineni is the first graduate student to defend his PhD after the School of Pharmacy switched to online delivery
It was mid-March when Narsineni first heard that the University of Waterloo was transitioning courses online to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus.
It’s National Volunteer Week and we’d like to applaud our students, alumni, partners, faculty and staff who support our School and community in so many ways! We’re thrilled to be volunteers ourselves, and we also rely on volunteers to support us throughout the year. From student leaders and ambassadors helping us run events, to alumni who support students in many roles, to preceptors mentoring students across Ontario, we simply could not do it without you. From the bottom of our hearts – thank you
Researchers at the University of Waterloo are developing a DNA-based vaccine that can be delivered through a nasal spray.
The vaccine will work by using engineered bacteriophage, a process that will allow the vaccine to stimulate an immune response in the nasal cavity and target tissues in the lower respiratory tract.
