° Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (Spain), the largest and leading public research institution in Spain. PALO ALTO, Calif., July 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) today announced the deployment of HP D300e BioPrinters, associated supply cassettes, and training, free of charge, to research laboratories in the U.S. and Europe to help accelerate drug and vaccine research to combat COVID-19. “Each of us has a role to play to combat this pandemic, and HP and the HP Foundation have donated millions of dollars in products and grants to support local communities impacted by COVID-19 worldwide,” said Annette Friskopp, Global Head and General Manager, Specialty Printing Systems, HP Inc. “We are inspired by the research being conducted by laboratories worldwide to better understand this pandemic, and if the HP D300e BioPrinter in the hands of these scientists can help accelerate their drug and vaccine research, it’s our responsibility to step forward and dedicate resources and technology to make it happen.” How it works Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the largest and leading public research institution in Spain, will leverage the BioPrinter to investigate how the spike protein of COVID-19 reacts in the population most at risk for infection, including healthcare professionals, security forces, and the elderly. The Madrid-based institution will also contribute to the research of new drugs capable of controlling the interaction of the ACE2 receptor for the protein S of COVID-19, the main gateway for the virus; and map the SARS-COV-2 "peak" protein using different fragments and epitopes of proteins, among others. Researchers from the Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling (CNRCS) at University of Houston are developing anti-viral drugs and prophylactic vaccines for COVID-19. In particular, efforts to develop an innovative drug screening platform for the virus are in progress. This high-throughput screening system can be easily modified for other infectious diseases. The BioPrinter will be used to dispense reagents with high accuracy and develop a drug development tool for COVID-19 treatment. Monoclonal Antibody Discovery Laboratory at Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences in Siena, Italy focuses on monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovery against infectious diseases. The lab will use the BioPrinter will accelerate their testing of potency of mAbs against COVID-19, as well as other infectious bacteria and viruses. Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (CHUGA), the third largest research university in France, released emergency aid to a team of scientists and doctors to launch bio-clinical research on COVID-19 immunization. The BioPrinter will be used to automatize the screening of infected individuals' sera for neutralizing antibodies. COVID-19 community response Learn more
