Saama-Led Consortium Seeks Data-Driven Answers to COVID-19

Apr 21, 2020

Neil Versel

CHICAGO – A group of life sciences and bioinformatics companies have banded together in the race to find treatments, vaccines, and a cure for COVID-19.

The fledgling EndPandemic National Data Consortium said last week that seven firms have signed on to the group within two weeks of its formation to work toward data-driven responses to SARS-CoV-2 and related COVID-19 disease. They plan on integrating and analyzing data from current and future clinical trials and clinical records to accelerate research.

The Scan

Keep It (Partly) Virtual

A survey by Nature finds that most researchers want scientific meetings to continue virtually or with a virtual component, even after the pandemic ends.

For Cross-Protection

Bloomberg reports that the B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 viral variant could prompt the formulation of better vaccines.

Proteomics of Severity

Certain blood proteins may be able to distinguish COVID-19 patients who will become critically ill from those who will not, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

This webinar will discuss findings from the study, in which molecular residual disease (MRD) was assessed using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) without prior mutational knowledge in oligometastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This study also investigated urine as an alternative analyte for ctDNA MRD detection.
