LONDON – Cases of the new variant of SARS-CoV-2, which has an unprecedented number of mutations in the spike protein that is the target of most COVID-19 vaccines, have now been reported across Europe and in Canada, following its initial detection in South Africa.
LONDON – Medical research charities that form an integral part of the U.K. health research system are still reeling from the impact of COVID-19 and now expect it will be three years before funding returns to pre-pandemic levels.
As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged in early 2020 and med-tech companies stepped up with numerous diagnostic and telehealth solutions, the availability of funding sources began to soar. The med-tech industry has raised a total of $46.9 billion so far in 2021 through 636 financings.
