Applied Biology and Samel to Inaugurate the First COVID-19 Clinical Research Center in the Brazilian Amazon State

EMERGENT VARIANTS OF SARS-COV-2 IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON PRESENT UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY TREATMENTS FOR COVID-19

IRVINE, CA, USA, February 26, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Applied Biology today announced its partnership with Samel - the leading hospital healthcare group in the Brazilian Amazon state.

The Brazilian Amazon state has been a focal point for the emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants. Some of the newly emergent strains such as the P1 variant are feared to render treatments and vaccinations significantly less effective. As such, establishing a clinical research center to study emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 is essential to halt the worldwide pandemic.

According to Dr. Andy Goren, Chief Medical Officer of Applied Biology: “the newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 variants in the Brazilian Amazon are a significant cause of concern in the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. We are currently studying a novel anti-androgen as a potential treatment for the newly discovered SARS-CoV-2 variants. We are exploring the expansion of our COVID-19 studies to vaccines.”

According to Luis Alberto Nicolau, CEO of the Samel Group: “our state of the art hospital facility has proven invaluable in saving lives during the first wave of the Pandemic. Combing our knowledge and quality of care with the scientific breakthroughs introduced by Applied Biology, we strive to become a key clinical research center for COVID-19.”

According to Dr. Daniel Fonseca, Medical Director of the Samel Group: “following our collaboration with Dr. Andy Goren in conducting the anti-androgen hospitalized patients study, we have developed the scientific and medical infrastructure to extend our studies to breakthrough therapeutics and vaccines for the treatment of COVID-19.”
