International consortium creates ‘open platform’ for COVID-19 drug discovery
17th December 2020
An international consortium, led by Cambridge Medical Research Council (MRC) researchers, has developed an ‘open platform’ to advance and prioritise drug discovery and repurposing efforts for COVID-19.
This platform will provide information on the genetic variation of host proteins involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection, which causes COVID-19, based on analysis of genetic and proteomic data from the MRC’s Fenland Study.
In a statement, the MRC Epidemiology Unit of Cambridge University said that certain host proteins could become targets of drugs to block viral entry and inhibit viral proliferation as well as dampen the damaging host inflammatory responses caused by COVID-19.
