Fake COVID-19 News Be Gone: This Utah Biotech Company Just Released An Essential Educational Video You Need to Watch

It’s the hero the world deserves and is certainly the one the world needs right now. Sorry Christopher Nolan, we had to adjust Gotham’s Dark Knight to the World’s White Knight amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. Back in November, FanX co-founder Bryan Brandenburg unveiled his newest biotech company, Zenerchi, to Grit Daily News, which has been in the works for decades, going back to Brandenburg’s years and involvement in the biotech industry—long before the 2013 birth of FanX in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This couldn’t be more necessary where even in a time of global pandemic and illness, fake news continues to spread across the internet, with individuals thinking they know everything there is to know about the coronavirus. Well, leave it to the professionals folks.

Coronaviruses, which have been around for centuries, are a large family of viruses which may cause illness in animals or humans. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), several coronaviruses in humans are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).

The most recently discovered coronavirus causes coronavirus disease…better known as COVID-19. This was previously unknown before its initial outbreak in Wuhan, China back in December 2019.

In efforts to support the now millions of people affected by COVID-19, Utah’s newest bio-tech company, Zenerchi has used its biomedical simulation/visualization and A.I. solution to produce an high-level educational video on COVID-19, which highlights past epidemics and compares it to the 2020 Coronavirus we are now experiencing globally…together.

Founded by FanX Salt Lake’s co-founder, Bryan Brandenburg, Zenerchi is a project that has been in the works for decades, going back to Brandenburg’s years and involvement in the biotech industry—long before the 2013 birth of Utah’s favorite comic-con.

“…the human body, along with everything else in the universe, is the most beautiful, elegant creation by far,” Brandenburg shared in an exclusive interview with Grit Daily back in November when he first unveiled Zenerchi to the world. “We think we’re smart by designing skyscrapers and Tesla’s and solar panels but compared to the elegance of the universe and the human body, we’re light years away from that kind of design. What we’re doing is creating access that makes it possible to simulate and visualize the elegance and beauty of the human body in a way that has never been done before.”

As the world and medical professionals are attempting to break-down and understand COVID-19, Brandenburg’s vision is to complement the FDA’s requirement of testing by producing clinical trials with tests on simulated people.

“Instead of doing 1,000-10,000 at a time, we can do one million-10 million at a time using genome data and an understanding of human physiology that has never been had before. We can use the same technology to test products that can’t afford FDA approval like nutritional supplements.”

On Thursday, Zenerchi’s press release went live to the world, distributing its YouTube version of the educational video—the platform created and illustrates a new level of advanced coronavirus visualizations including the human cell, the flu, and COVID-19, along with its nucleus, proteins, and associated chains and amino acid sequences.
