COVID-19 therapeutics: revelations and revolutions

Professor Sir Peter Horby speaks on how COVID-19 has turbo-charged drug development, achieving in months what had previously taken years. The incredible impact of lightning speed computational biology, genomics, drug development, mega-platform trials and data linkage should revolutionise our expectations for the future.

Professor Sir Peter Horby trained in medicine at University College London and went on to specialise in emerging and epidemic prone infectious diseases. Over the last 20 years he has led research on a wide range of emerging and epidemic infections, including SARS, avian influenza, Ebola, Lassa fever, plague and COVID-19.
