International team unites Chinese scientists to develop new virus "Google" map

Researcher Dr.

This new panorama of potentially threatening proteins will help scientists quickly and effectively deal with the next pathogen that may cause serious damage to humans

“The fight against COVID-19 is not over, but we can’t wait to start preparing for the next pandemic.

Virus hotspot

By quickly unraveling the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 virus, scientists can develop a safe and effective vaccine for the new coronavirus

VirusMED contains extensive information on important scientific data such as virus types and strains, hosts, viral proteins and antibodies, and drugs that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration

Dr.

Minor said that one of the main advantages of virusMED is that it concentrates existing virus knowledge in one place
