[sudo-discuss] (HIV) Immunity Project

[Eddan Katz]

Thought the bio-hacker sudo folks would be interested in this project. I met Naveen Jain, CEO at Spark Art (http://www.sparkart.com), whose offices are in that green building across the street from Sudo Room on 22nd, who core the project - He sent me this executive summary version attachment.

an excerpted summary:
Immunity Project is a team of scientists and entrepreneurs based in the San Francisco Bay Area who are developing a revolutionary vaccine platform using an entirely novel approach: to adopt the unique targeting capability inherent in controllers to give everyone that same immunity to the targeted disease. The first vaccine being developed using this platform is a vaccine for HIV. It is designed to turn everyone who receives it into an HIV controller. Immunity Project will offer the HIV vaccine to the world for free.

To develop the vaccine, a machine learning algorithm -- similar to what is used in the most advanced spam filtering software -- was developed to identify the achilles heel biological markers on the HIV virus. The vaccine formulation consists of the achilles heel biological markers and FDA approved chemicals that cause an immune system response. The Project’s proprietary formulation enables the vaccine prototype to be stored in inert powder form without refrigeration and delivered to patients through a nasal inhaler. The Immunity Project vaccine is the first to be developed that does not contain any living or non living virus, giving it the potential to be among the safest vaccines ever developed. To date, the team holds ten granted patents -- and more are pending -- covering the vaccine formulation and delivery technology.
