Over the last
seven to eight months, lives across the globe have changed in unforeseen
ways. More than a million lives have been lost, and tens of millions of people
have contracted COVID-19. The coronavirus upended daily life, slammed the
economy, and sent businesses scrambling to cope.
For the pharma
world, it's been a crisis with a purpose. Scientists, regulators, biotech
companies and drugmakers large and small have taken center stage as they
hunt for drugs, vaccines, diagnostic tests and other aids in halting the
pandemic.
We've chosen
22 of them to feature here, some working behind the scenes, others very
much in the spotlight. We focused on people whose names aren’t
necessarily in the news regularly, highlighting experts attacking COVID from
all angles.
Some are part of
the record-shattering vaccine development process. Others
are testing drugs new and old against the newly emerged virus.
Still others have focused on improving diagnostics, manufacturing
needed supplies or improving public health.
They've been
working around the clock—literally, some of them—to bring the pandemic to an
end. There’s plenty more work to do, but their progress is already tangible.
We hope you enjoy reading their stories. — Eric Sagonowsky
