Covid-19, the central role of scientific research: the challenge of a vaccine and effective therapy

In collaboration with DOC Generici and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Stefano Bertuzzi, CEO of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM); Andrea Costa, Subsecretary of State for Health; Skhumbuzo Ngozwana, CEO and President Kiara Health; Walter Ricciardi, President of the World Federation of Public Health Associations and Professor at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. Introduced by Riccardo Zagaria, CEO of DOC Generici.

Over the last few months, we have all seen how important research is for the lives of all of us. More than 250 clinical trials are currently underway investigating effective vaccines and treatments against Covid -19 and future pandemics. Significant public and private investments have made this unprecedented effort possible. However, investments alone would not have been enough, because behind every research project there are people who, with determination, have carried out projects amidst a thousand difficulties and limitations. At this year’s Meeting, we want to meet these people and hear about their human journey.
