Bangalore, 11/11: Prestigious  Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore is developing vaccines to treat Covid-19 and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), an official said on Tuesday.

“The researchers have developed a heat-tolerant Covid-19 vaccine candidate and a rapid method to identify specific regions on the HIV envelope protein that are targeted by antibodies, which can help design effective vaccines,” said the official in a statement here.
