Editor's Notes

Think Pittsburgh history, and steel may be the first thing that comes to mind. But the Western Pennsylvania city has deep roots in vaccine research, as well.

 

Have you ever had polio? Well, you can thank the University of Pittsburgh that the answer is no.

 

This history is on the minds of many in the city's life sciences community as they work to create a vaccine for COVID-19. "We're standing on the shoulders of giants," Dr. Louis Falo told reporter Kim Lyons of the effort he's leading to bring PittCoVacc to the world.

 

Check out the full story about the vaccine quest (complete with illustration c/o Philly's Penji). It's the first of a yearlong series we're publishing to usher in Technical.ly Pittsburgh.
