SARS-Cov-2: Effective therapeutic approaches with established drugs

The fight against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic requires persistence: In addition to the vaccination campaign, effective drugs are needed above all to get a better grip on more severe forms of the disease. As part of the DRECOR (Drug repurposing for Corona) project, researchers from eight Fraunhofer institutes, including Fraunhofer EMFT, are taking a pragmatic approach: The team is drawing on existing drugs with known safety profiles to rapidly develop new therapeutic approaches.

Covid patients´condition always in view

Only a small proportion of covid patients are in intensive care. For all of them, however, the question arises: Is their condition deteriorating? A sensor system being developed by various Fraunhofer institutes in the M3-Infekt consortium project is designed to detect such a deterioration at an early stage – using, among other things, a MIMO radar that analyzes the breathing rate without contact.
