Abstract

Our COVID-19 research strategy takes a comprehensive and collaborative approach to research under five key themes. Theme 1 is "Diagnosis - methods evaluation and development", how can we compare and evaluate testing methods, and improve coronavirus testing? Alongside re-purposing of facilities to conduct ~2,000 tests for SARS-CoV-2 virus for the NHS, the Crick will use this diagnostic capacity to perform longitudinal research studies to define critical clinical demographics.
