Researchers from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia have developed two new drugs which can protect people from spreading COVID-19 and prevent those who are infected from developing severe disease.
A team led by Professor Sudha Rao, senior researcher and head of QIMR Berghofer’s Gene Regulation and Translational Medicine Group, has developed two peptide-based drugs, which are now being tested in hamsters at IDMIT, a pre-clinical and clinical research facility in France.
