As part of the worldwide effort in the field of life sciences, to deal with the outbreak of COVID 19, scientists from the 'Migal HaGalil' research institute in Israel are using Dassault Systèmes' BIOVIA applications to accelerate their research and development of a possible vaccine against SARS CoV 2 (the corona virus).

MiGal used BIOVIA applications, in addition to a variety of computational tools, for four years of multidisciplinary research in projects to develop vaccines against avian viruses from the coronavirus family. When COVID 19 became a pandemic, this academic research and development center - which focuses on plant sciences, agriculture, environmental sciences, Computer Science, Nutrition, and Biotechnology - began using these computational applications and tools to apply his research to the investigation COVID 19 mutations and bring a new vaccine for humans against the corona virus to pre-clinical testing within 90 days. In the fight against COVID 19, Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform and digital applications can help the health ecosystem and meet the needs of clinical research and development, production and patient care.

By using BIOVIA for COVID 19 research and development, MiGal's research institute can guide its laboratory and experimental management processes with a digital approach that accelerates research results. Its scientists can quickly process and analyze the research data collected over the past four years and build models of protein behavior virality and the evolution of its predicted neutralizing epitopes.This allows Miguel to analyze the test results from different aspects of past studies and decide which research strategies to use in the future.
