RE:CoronavirusDoes this news imply that should they be successful in Covid-19 destruction it will also work on other viruses?
Dr Coombs also stated "Based upon the above results, I believe further studies are strongly warranted. Theralases's PDCs show great promise as a potential therapeutic. Given the similar physicochemical properties of all enveloped viruses, including the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, I believe Theralase's PDCs represent an important new anti-viral technology platform and I am very interested in further exploring how these PDCs could be used against COVID-19." Dr. Coombs continued, "We are planning to use a Direct Electron Detector ("DED") enhancement to a powerful TALOS200 electron microscope, which allows multichannel, high-resolution imaging and precise compositional analysis to enable dynamic microscopy applications at sub-nanometer resolution. I will use this technology to look at structures of coronaviruses after they have been treated with Theralase's formulations for cellular destruction. I look forward to working with Dr. Arkady Mandel and the Theralase team in the development of this exciting technology."
