First was any work you are doing through the VRC to adapt the Spike/other antigens in response to the new variants (I think Barney's work that was picked up by Novavax and some of the other companies will be very important). Let me know if there is anything we can help out with in this work. I'll also be in touch with Francis around the sequencing in the US and in Africa - we've had a lot of help here from Illumina and other companies. Warm regards, Trevor Trevor Mundel, MD, PhD President, Global Health Program E @gatesfoundation.org Christa Bowles Executive Assistant Global Health Office of the President E @gatesfoundation.org
