Abstract

The MELATOVID project coordinated by Ralf Jockers (U1016 - Institut Cochin - Inserm) aims to assess the potential of melatonin and its derivatives in order to provide a rapid, preventive or therapeutic solution against Covid-19 infection. He will evaluate the effect of melatoninergic drugs and their associated mechanisms of action on cell models infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and in vivo.
