The number of SARS-CoV-2 infections is increasing dramatically from day to day in Germany and worldwide. Researchers at the Helmholtz Centers are working on the development of new active substances, antibody therapies and testing procedures, the deciphering of infection mechanisms and epidemiological questions. In more than 20 research projects – mainly in the Research Field Health but also beyond – Helmholtz is addressing one of the greatest challenges of our time.
