Coronavirus

The need for timely, accurate, and reliable data about the health of the US population has never been greater. Critical questions include: (1) how many individuals test positive and how many are affected by the disease in a given geographic area; (2) what are the age and race of these individuals; (3) how many people sought care, and many more.
Critical discussions culminated in a decision to form a public-private partnership to focus on speeding the development and deployment of therapeutics and vaccines for COVID-19. The group assembled 4 working groups to focus on preclinical therapeutics, clinical therapeutics, clinical trial capacity, and vaccines.
Rapid, reliable identification of an unknown viral infection is challenging. Use of CRISPR technology can simultaneously detect nucleic acids of many viruses and pinpoint specific ones, such as the virus that causes COVID-19.
