Open Science: Key to combat zoonosis
Largely opaque and proprietary R&D environments in the life sciences sector need to make way for strategies facilitated by sustainable investment models, open sourcing and multi-lateral partnerships, to deal with a growing threat from infectious/zoonosis diseases “There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” These words by Russian revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin describe the current scenario to a ‘T’. Most of us have seen more disruptions over the last few weeks than probably ever before in our lifetime, especially if one is a millennial or younger. Yet, these times are also a watershed in terms of the lessons for mankind. The impact and implications of the coronavirus pandemic will shape new norms and mindsets, approaches and agendas worldwide for a long time to come.

Vaccines under clinical trials to prevent Covid-19 - An article by Aliva Basu
The author is B. Pharm student from NMIMS-SPPSPTM Introduction Covid-19 or also known as Coronavirus disease is an infectious disease which has rapidly emerged to become a global pandemic. The main reasons why it is so dangerous is because it takes about 2 weeks for the symptoms (coughing, fever and in severe cases, respiratory distress) to develop and thus be identified. In that period, the infected person can transmit this disease to countless other people they come in contact with through cough or sneeze droplets. [1] Another reason for it’s danger lies in the survival mechanism of the virus causing the disease. Covid-19 is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 .

[2] The exact mechanism for this disease is yet not known and is still under research but there are several theories proposed. The pandemic is a huge risk to global health with more than 1,500,000 cases reported worldwide till dat...
