Are antibody cocktails the key to COVID-19 treatment?
Thought LeadersDr. Natalia FreundAssistant Professor, Sackler School of MedicineTel Aviv University
In this interview, News-Medical speaks to Dr. Natalia Freund about her latest research into COVID-19, and how most people are capable of producing neutralizing antibodies against the virus.
What provoked your research into the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic?
When the pandemic hit Israel, every aspect of our lives has changed, and therefore like many other laboratories we had to put on hold some ongoing projects and focus on the new virus.
In fact, we have been developing tools and platforms for antibody discovery and isolation for a very long time, while focusing on other infectious diseases such as HIV-1 and Tuberculosis, and we were as prepared as one can be to apply our tools to the new COVID-19 problem.
