Every Vaccine and Treatment in Development for COVID-19, So Far
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/every-vaccine-treatment-covid-19-so-far/?from=timeline&isappinstalled=0
As the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to skyrocket, healthcare researchers around the world are working tirelessly to discover new life-saving medical innovations.
The projects these companies are working on can be organized into three distinct groups: Diagnostics: Quickly and effectively detecting the disease in the first place Treatments: Alleviating symptoms so people who have disease experience milder symptoms, and lowering the overall mortality rate Vaccines: Preventing transmission by making the population immune to COVID-19 Today’s graphics provide an in-depth look at who’s in the innovation race to defeat the virus, and they come to us courtesy of Artis Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on life sciences and tech investments. ![]() ![]() ![]()

2. I'm interested in the IL-6 inhibitors.
Waiting for the results is the hardest part.

11. A new addition? Israeli company MIGAL says it's ready to test a vaccine
Israeli scientists: 'In a few weeks, we will have coronavirus vaccine'
Once the vaccine is developed, it will take at least 90 days to complete the regulatory process and potentially more to enter the marketplace. https://www.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE/Israeli-scientists-In-three-weeks-we-will-have-coronavirus-vaccine-619101 ... But after scientists sequenced the DNA of the novel coronavirus causing the current worldwide outbreak, the MIGAL researchers examined it and found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human one, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, which increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time, Katz said. “All we need to do is adjust the system to the new sequence,” he said. “We are in the middle of this process, and hopefully in a few weeks we will have the vaccine in our hands. Yes, in a few weeks, if it all works, we would have a vaccine to prevent coronavirus.” MIGAL would be responsible for developing the new vaccine, but it would then have to go through a regulatory process, including clinical trials and large-scale production, Katz said. |
