The COVID-19 pandemic caused over 250 million infections worldwide (over 1.7 million cases in Romania), and over 5 million deaths (over 55,000 in Romania). Several vaccines are already available and they have helped slow the spread of the virus. Our institute is actively engaged in the next stage of the fight against COVID-19: to identify the optimal drug treatments according to the patient’s co-morbidities. Our specialists have integrated a massive set of molecular data about the virus and its effects in the body, which they have analyzed to identify a number of promising drugs for treatment. The study provides a concrete step towards precision treatments in SARS-CoV-2 and was published in the journal “Briefings in Bioinformatics”, one of the most famous in the world in computational biology.
