Targeted treatment for COVID-19

targeted treatment

Discovery points to targeted treatment for COVID-19: Scientists at the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre have found a way to stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating in infected human cells, in a major step towards a new treatment for this and future pandemic viruses. This discovery builds on research […]
