AMES, Iowa – A pharmaceutical company based in Ames is working on a vaccine for the deadly Ebola virus that has killed almost 900 people in Africa.

“We believe that we have a product that is very helpful in this situation. We believe it is as likely to be as effective in humans as in the non-human primates we’ve studied,” said Jay Ramsey, Clinical & Regulatory Compliance Officer of NewLink Genetics.
