There are a lot of universities from different countries all over the world that are all working on finding a cure for COVID 19. The main goal of universities is to come up with a cure so that life can get back to what can be considered normal. The main university that is working on a cure is the University of Pittsburgh.

It seems that there are a lot of people who have high hopes for this university because this is where the vaccine for Polio was first invented. There are certain antibodies that are being tested and are so far reacting well against the virus. Hopefully, the right mix of antibodies will be discovered so that a vaccine can be created against the virus that is causing a worldwide pandemic.

The correct answer to this question is the University of Pittsburgh. This will be done through the University's specialized school of medicine. This university has had history when it comes to vaccines, for it is where the polio vaccine was invented. Recently they have announced a vaccine that could potentially go against SARS CoV-2, which is a cause of the coronavirus.

Their discovery is the first by anyone at a third party institution to create a vaccine. Tests have shown that this potential vaccine has the ability to create antibodies to help neutralize the virus. Hopes are that by 2021, we will have a vaccine for the virus.
