A Triumph of Innovation

​

Project Overview:

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we embarked on a journey with limited resources, armed with determination and innovation. Our mission was clear: to create a profound impact with modest funding. Each Euro, equivalent to 382.37 Hungarian Forints, was stretched to its limit to yield extraordinary results.

Five Groundbreaking Technologies Developed:

1. Inactivation Breakthrough: The heart of our project was the development of an innovative UV inactivation process. This groundbreaking procedure transformed patient samples used in diagnostics into infection-free resources, making safe and secure research possible.

2. Revolutionary Plasma Analysis: We harnessed this process to analyze blood plasma from COVID-19 patients, selecting preparations rich in anti-viral antibodies. This advancement holds promise for therapeutics and provides new insights into immunological responses.

3. Monitoring Cellular Immunity: Our efforts extended to creating a system for monitoring the cellular immune response triggered by COVID-19. This tool is invaluable for assessing the efficacy of vaccines, a critical part of global pandemic management.

4. Broad-Range Pathogen Applicability: The innovative device we developed isn't limited to COVID-19; it has the potential to be applied to other pathogens, expanding its utility in the future.

5. Accelerating Global Research: By achieving these goals, we've accelerated research efforts aimed at combating the coronavirus, supporting healthcare workers and scientists, and contributing to our collective understanding of vaccine effectiveness.
