Data analysis results, performed by IBG researchers, using the SARS-Cov2 genome isolates in Turkey will be shared here.
IBG researchers have started covid-19 related research and development projects.
You can find the latest news on our contribution into the fight against Covid-19.
We have compared the genomes of 17 SARS-CoV-2 isolates in Turkey that have been sequenced to the reference genome sequence using multiple sequence alignment methods in order to identify any major structural variations. Our results are as follows: * 12 isolates have a 265-nucleotide long deletion on the 5’ end of the genome. No other
Mutations in the genome of a virus can complicate attempts to combat viral diseases, whether by causing a higher number of false negatives in diagnosis methods, such as by PCR, or attenuating or eliminating the effects of anti-viral medication or vaccination by disrupting the pharmacokinetic interactions of viral proteins with administered substances or preventing antibodies
Although following from behind, Coronavirus keeps on spreading rapidly in our country. In the fight against the Covid-19 outbreak, the timely and accurate detection of the SARS-Cov2 virus in humans has critical importance. In order to be able to detect the virus more quickly, a Covid-19 Diagnosis Center was founded in Izmir with the initiation
With the lead of Dr. Arif Engin Çetin, we are producing face shields in our lab using 3D Printing techniques in just 29 minutes. We have made 48 face shields for Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) hospital and 55 for the other organisations so far. During the Covid-19 outbreak, thousands of healthcare providers and laboratory researchers
The Covid-19 Drug and Vaccine Development Online Conference will take place on Thursday 2nd April 2020. The Covid-19 Turkey platform founded by TUBITAK and the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology is organising an open online conference. The scientific advances on Covid-19 accomplished to date and envisaged for the near future will be discussed at
We recently witnessed how quickly a new infection can change people’s lives. It also reminded us of the importance of keeping scientifically informed, acting promptly, and more importantly, using a scientific approach to combat threats. As IBG, we are committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for our staff. For this reason, they
