Australia’s Novel Response to the New Coronavirus

In this week’s special edition of the MTPConnect podcast, we look at the critical role being played by Australian scientists and researchers as part of the global response to the Novel Coronavirus public health emergency.  With thousands of people infected worldwide, and the number of deaths already surpassing 900, the race is on for a vaccine – and it’s here that Australia is playing a critical role.  We meet two leading researchers in this area – Professor George Lovrecz from CSIRO and Professor Trent Munro from the University of Queensland’s Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology who discuss their work with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the status of the vital research.
