Covid-19 roundup: GSK, Am­gen tai­lor R&D work to fit the coro­n­avirus age; Doud­na's ge­nomics crew launch­es di­ag­nos­tic lab

You can add Am­gen and GSK to the list of deep-pock­et drug R&D play­ers who are tai­lor­ing their pipeline work to fit a new age of coro­n­avirus.

Am­gen is in­tent on cir­cling the wag­ons around key stud­ies that are al­ready ful­ly en­rolled, and GSK has the red light on new stud­ies while the pan­dem­ic plays out.
