Statement from Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla on Testing Positive for COVID-19

Pfizer

Nirmatrelvir is designed to inhibit viral replication at a stage known as proteolysis, which occurs before viral RNA replication. Current variants of concern can be resistant to treatments that work by binding to the spike protein found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. FDA Emergency Use Authorization Statement. 07.27.2022.

The doors CRISPR libraries have and will open in phenotypic drug screening 

Drug Discovery World

Bacterial RNA is replaced by a synthetic guide RNA (gRNA) that can recognise a specific target DNA sequence. These modifications lead to alterations in the function of the proteins expressed by these genes, manifesting in cellular processes dependent on those proteins. CRISPR libraries: Why do we need them?

Brochure: Dynabeads manual and automated SARS-CoV-2 enrichment

The Pharma Data

Coronaviruses are RNA viruses and include common human coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome-CoV (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV-2 ( 1 ). Nucleocapsid protein from SARS patients was abundant enough to be detected in clinical samples using an ELISA approach ( 20 ). INTRODUCTION.

Pfizer to Slash COVID-19 Vaccine Manufacturing Time by Almost 50 Percent

XTalks

The drugmaker is targeting various steps in the manufacturing process, beginning right at the DNA stage, which is required as the template from which the mRNA for the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the vaccine is made. The RNA is transcribed from DNA in 40-liter vessels containing enzymes and chemicals over the course of three to four days.
