More than 30 companies and research institutions want to bundle their work in the corona pandemic.
The pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim announced that the search for effective drugs against the disease Covid-19 caused by the new coronavirus should be accelerated. A total of 37 agencies from the EU, China, Great Britain, Switzerland and the USA are involved.
One focus of the research is therefore on the development of antibodies that neutralize the virus. In addition, molecules are to be brought onto the market that act directly against the pathogen. The research network is funded by the EU with more than 77 million euros and is supported by the pharmaceutical industry.
