QTY code is a genetic modification tool designed to create water-soluble variants of insoluble transmembrane receptor proteins. These water soluble receptors are then anchored onto an S-layer matrix at a high density which together, allows the filtration of cytokines from blood. This AVA-Trap blood filtration system is currently being investigated for the mitigation of cytokine storm in patients with COVID-19. This interview took place at the 2021 World Stem Cell Summit (WSCS).
