green light was doled out very quickly. It was only Tuesday when CanSino
said it had filed the pre-IND review application for the vaccine to
authorities and was in the process of a rolling submission of technical
documents. CanSino’s candidate, dubbed Ad5-nCoV, uses its adenovirus-
based viral vector vaccine platform. In 2017, the same technology helped
the company earn a Chinese nod for its Ebola vaccine, which was the first
Ebola shot approved anywhere based on the strain behind the deadly
epidemic in West Africa in 2014.

local early state venture investor and $100K from a National Research Council.
Founder Graves started the company, along with Mark Fox—a friend from
undergrad—as he realized “he sucked” at research but desired to leverage his
scientific degree in meaningful ways. Graves and Fox sought to develop a
platform that could accelerate drug development by focusing on the
discovery—developing patents for aspects of the drug delivery process that
could be licensed to drug makers”
9. NOVOVAX
A small group of scientists, execs, and VCs are $277 million richer as their companies
race to create a coronavirus vaccine. Here are 7 who have raked in huge sums. -

“Vaccine specialist Novavax (NVAX) stepped up to the plate, and hit the ball out of
the park yet again. Investors had already enjoyed some pretty hefty gains in 2020
before more positive developments sent the stock into the stratosphere. Last week,
news that Novavax had received a $384 million grant from the Coalition for Epidemic
Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to support the development of its COVID-19 vaccine
candidate, NVX-CoV2373, resulted in a 133% addition to the share price”
Coalition Preparedness https://cepi.net/about/whoweare/ - CEPI has secured
financial investment from the Governments of Australia, Belgium, Canada,
Denmark, Ethiopia, Finland, Germany, Japan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the
Netherlands, Norway, the UK and Switzerland, as well as the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, and Wellcome. The European Commission provides
substantial financial contributions to support relevant projects through its
mechanisms. CEPI has also received donations from the private sector and
individuals through the UN Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund to
support our COVID-19 vaccine development efforts.
10. CUREVAC
As the race to develop a coronavirus vaccine intensifies, one player—
German drugmaker CureVac—is backed by particularly deep pockets.
CureVac, which is in the headlines amid rumors that the U.S.
government offered funding to lure its research exclusively to
America, counts one of Germany’s richest entrepreneurs, Mexican
shopping mall tycoons and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
among its investors.

In the race to find a medical breakthrough to the pandemic, the
startup, CureVac, said earlier this month that its proprietary
technology has found suitable candidates that could lead to a
treatment, and that it aims to start clinical trials in early summer.
CureVac has received funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation. - https://fortune.com/2020/03/16/coronavirus-cure-

18. TESTING
COVID19 – Testing “It uses a simple assay containing plasmonic gold
nanoparticles to detect a color change when the virus is present. The
test does not require the use of any advanced laboratory techniques,
such as those commonly used to amplify DNA, for analysis. The authors
published their work last week in the American Chemical Society’s
nanotechnology journal ACS Nano. "Based on our preliminary results,
we believe this promising new test may detect RNA material from the
virus as early as the first day of infection. Additional studies are needed,
however, to confirm whether this is indeed the case,” said study leader
Dipanjan Pan, PhD, professor of diagnostic radiology and nuclear
medicine and pediatrics at UMSOM.”

• Additional costs to already strapped healthcare system
• Private insurance companies and their coverage in terms of their testing. This could mean a rise in premiums
• Consumers could be out of pocket about $129 per test.
22. ANTIBODIES
“Much remains to be learnt about the immunological responses to SARS-CoV-2. Nevertheless, it is becoming clear that antibodies taken from the
blood serum of people who have recovered from COVID-19 can be used for treatment by being transfused into other people who have the
disease”Source - https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01816-5
Disappearance of antibodies 2-3 months - https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/932671
“Those who did not have a bad case of COVID-19 lose antibodies faster. Forty percent of asymptomatic individuals became seronegative and
12.9% of the symptomatic group became negative for IgG in the early convalescent phase. In addition, asymptomatic individuals exhibited lower
levels of 18 pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. These data suggest that asymptomatic individuals had a weaker immune response to SARS-
CoV-2 infection.mThe research, published in Nature Medicine on June 18, highlights the risks of using COVID-19 ‘immunity passports’ and
supports the prolonged use of public health interventions such as social distancing and isolating high-risk groups This seems to indicate that our
better bet is t-cell-related therapies and vaccines and hygiene and social distancing.
Avoid getting together with larger groups
Stay 6-10 ten feet apart if at all possible
clean your hands every hour

Development of contact tracing- “Contact tracing is the public health practice of informing people when they've been
