Nobel prize winner Edvard Moser is calling on EU officials not to undervalue the critical role early-stage science has played in paving the way for the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines this past year.
“None of this could have happened if there hadn’t been a mountain of basic research in front of the pandemic. All of this builds on a huge amount of knowledge,” said Moser, founding director of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience and co-director of the Centre for Neural Computation at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology
