Technological advancements and international cooperation have accelerated scientific understanding of COVID-19 but it will take political will to end virus outbreaks, the new Nobel laureates in medicine said Monday, October 5.
In separate press conferences, the laureates noted how long it had taken them to achieve their results. For Houghton these technological advancements, especially in the development of vaccines, are the"silver behind the lining of the COVID cloud." He added it had changed"the way that science is done to really make it more of a community effort rather than something that years ago might have been pursued by a few labs in isolation.""You need to have long-range planning, long-range thinking, and the freedom to pursue things that don't have an immediate effect. And nowadays if you don't have an endpoint it's hard to get funding," he added.
