Unscramble the Blue Letters
So on our team, we've developed ways to test vaccines outside the body — in liatn, that's "in vitro" — in a tissue culture dish. So we use tssuie enirgeening with blood clels to immunize outside the body and study the effect of the vaccine against, for example, ifnntas or elderly individuals or others. And if you think about it, this is critical, because if you look at all the infections we want to build vaccines against, like Zika virus and Ebola virus and HIV and others, all the candidate antigens, all the candidate adjuvants, all the different populations, it's going to be impossible to do lgrae, phase III ccilnial trials for every combination. This is where we think being able to test vniceacs outside the body can make a big difference to accelerate vaccine development.

Original Text
So on our team, we've developed ways to test vaccines outside the body — in Latin, that's "in vitro" — in a tissue culture dish. So we use tissue engineering with blood cells to immunize outside the body and study the effect of the vaccine against, for example, infants or elderly individuals or others. And if you think about it, this is critical, because if you look at all the infections we want to build vaccines against, like Zika virus and Ebola virus and HIV and others, all the candidate antigens, all the candidate adjuvants, all the different populations, it's going to be impossible to do large, phase III clinical trials for every combination. This is where we think being able to test vaccines outside the body can make a big difference to accelerate vaccine development.
