That\u2019s a game changer for national biosecurity and more resilient public health systems, they say.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content c-article-content--health js-article-content\">\n<p>Scientists at Cambridge University have developed a new vaccine using Artificial Intelligence that targets multiple strains of bird flu in one shot, rather than providing immunity to one variant. The jab could protect even from variants that haven\u2019t emerged yet, they say.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-desktop\">\n<div class=\"c-ad__placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-ad__placeholder__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/images\/logos\/logo-euronews-stacked-outlined-72x72-grey-9.svg\" width=\"72\" height=\"72\" alt loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The vaccine is part of a new generation of vaccines targeting multiple strains of the same virus, with the aim of better preparing for future health emergencies, including those involving currently unknown threats. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than providing immunity to a single variant of bird flu, our new broad-spectrum vaccine is protective against a huge range of variants,\u201d said Jonathan Heeney, from the Lab of Viral Zoonotics at the University of Cambridge, who led the work. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s designed to anticipate viral evolution, rather than reacting to it,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>The study, published in Cell Reports Medicine, found that the new vaccine provides broader protection and superior survival rates compared to standard candidate vaccines that target only one strain currently stockpiled for pandemic preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>Like the coronaviruses that caused COVID-19 and many other emerging infectious diseases, bird flu is an RNA virus. RNA viruses represent a particular threat to human health because they can mutate rapidly into new strains that can jump from animals to humans and evade our immune systems \u2014 and the protection offered by existing vaccines. <\/p>\n<p>Current pandemic preparedness relies on stockpiling vaccines against individual virus variants that have already emerged. These new-generation vaccines are a game changer for national biosecurity and more resilient public health systems, the authors noted. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can be prepared to respond immediately to virus epidemics and pandemics, rather than the current scenario of always being on the back foot and responding with a strain which will have changed,\u201d said Heeney. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\" id=\"abe-article-related-1\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">New AI-designed \u2018universal vaccine\u2019 could future-proof humans against unknown viruses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>New-generation vaccines<\/h2>\n<p>The researchers collected genetic sequence data from bird flu viruses recorded by surveillance programmes worldwide, including samples from wildlife, livestock and humans infected with bird flu. <\/p>\n<p>They used computational and evolutionary algorithms to design five AI-optimised synthetic antigens representing the global diversity of bird flu viruses and helping prevent the virus from evading immune protection.<\/p>\n<p>The active ingredient in a vaccine, called an antigen, triggers the body\u2019s immune system to produce a protective response. This trains the body to fight off future infections caused by a pathogen containing this specific antigen. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing AI vastly speeds up the process of vaccine design, and then we can test the vaccine candidates in the lab to make sure they\u2019re robust and safe,\u201d said Heeney.<\/p>\n<p>In the new study, the vaccine completely protected mice and ferrets against a range of genetically distinct variants of the virus that causes bird flu \u2014 all of which have caused human infections and represent potential pandemic threats. Only half the animals survived exposure to these same viruses when immunised with the World Health Organization&#8217;s existing bird flu vaccine. <\/p>\n<p>The next step is to test the new bird flu vaccine in human clinical trials, to make it available for use in the event of an outbreak and to expand the new framework to seasonal influenza vaccines and other rapidly evolving RNA viruses<\/p>\n<p>Developed by the University of Cambridge and its company DIOSynVax Ltd, this is the latest in a series of new vaccines whose active ingredient is designed to give lasting protection from thousands of virus variants in a single vaccine. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, the team developed the first fully AI-designed vaccine to be tested in humans, offering lasting protection against a broad range of viruses \u2014 such as Ebola and members of the coronavirus group \u2014 even as they mutate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility

vaccines against Ebola outbreak<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"articleBody\" data-key=\"articleBody\">Scientists at Cambridge University have developed a new vaccine using Artificial Intelligence that targets multiple strains of bird flu in one shot, rather than providing immunity to one variant. The jab could protect even from variants that haven\u2019t emerged yet, they say.The vaccine is part of a new generation of vaccines targeting multiple strains of the same virus, with the aim of better preparing for future health emergencies, including those involving currently unknown threats.\u00a0\u201cRather than providing immunity to a single variant of bird flu, our new broad-spectrum vaccine is protective against a huge range of variants,\u201d said Jonathan Heeney, from the Lab of Viral Zoonotics at the University of Cambridge, who led the work.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s designed to anticipate viral evolution, rather than reacting to it,\u201d he added.\u00a0The study, published in Cell Reports Medicine,\u00a0 found that the new vaccine provides broader protection and superior survival rates compared to standard candidate vaccines that target only one strain currently stockpiled for pandemic preparedness.Like the coronaviruses that caused COVID-19 and many other emerging infectious diseases, bird flu is an RNA virus. RNA viruses represent a particular threat to human health because they can mutate rapidly into new strains that can jump from animals to humans and evade our immune systems \u2014 and the protection offered by existing vaccines.\u00a0Current pandemic preparedness relies on stockpiling vaccines against individual virus variants that have already emerged. These new-generation vaccines are a game changer for national biosecurity and more resilient public health systems, the authors noted.\u00a0\u201cWe can be prepared to respond immediately to virus epidemics and pandemics, rather than the current scenario of always being on the back foot and responding with a strain which will have changed,\u201d said Heeney.\u00a0New-generation vaccinesThe researchers collected genetic sequence data from bird flu viruses recorded by surveillance programmes worldwide, including samples from wildlife, livestock and humans infected with bird flu.\u00a0They used computational and evolutionary algorithms to design five AI-optimised synthetic antigens representing the global diversity of bird flu viruses and helping prevent the virus from evading immune protection.The active ingredient in a vaccine, called an antigen, triggers the body\u2019s immune system to produce a protective response. This trains the body to fight off future infections caused by a pathogen containing this specific antigen.\u00a0\u201cUsing AI vastly speeds up the process of vaccine design, and then we can test the vaccine candidates in the lab to make sure they\u2019re robust and safe,\u201d said Heeney.In the new study, the vaccine completely protected mice and ferrets against a range of genetically distinct variants of the virus that causes bird flu \u2014 all of which have caused human infections and represent potential pandemic threats. Only half the animals survived exposure to these same viruses when immunised with the World Health Organization&#8217;s existing bird flu vaccine.\u00a0The next step is to test the new bird flu vaccine in human clinical trials, to make it available for use in the event of an outbreak and to expand the new framework to seasonal influenza vaccines and other rapidly evolving RNA virusesDeveloped by the University of Cambridge and its company DIOSynVax Ltd, this is the latest in a series of new vaccines whose active ingredient is designed to give lasting protection from thousands of virus variants in a single vaccine.\u00a0Earlier this year, the team developed the first fully AI-designed vaccine to be tested in humans, offering lasting protection against a broad range of viruses \u2014 such as Ebola and members of the coronavirus group \u2014 even as they mutate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/11\/06\/scientists-develop-first-ever-broad-spectrum-bird-flu-vaccine-using-ai&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/98\/27\/85\/1200x675_cmsv2_c356a089-40f0-504f-a3c5-0b7017bba818-9982785.jpg&#8221;] Earth News Majorca shuts down its last coal plant.
