Dr. Dan Barouch is optimistic the vaccine will become the third cleared for use against COVID-19
As a teenager studying violin in a small town in upstate New York, Dan Barouch considered a career as a musician. He became a doctor instead, entering Harvard College at just 16 years old and earning a PhD and medical degree by the time he was 26.
That decision could have implications for millions of people.
Barouch runs the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and is one of the world’s leading vaccine developers. Within a week or two, researchers expect to know whether a closely watched vaccine that his lab helped design for the health care giant Johnson & Johnson prevented COVID-19 in a late-stage study of 45,000 volunteers.
