About this item
Description: Clinical trials are the gold standard when finding out the potential of a novel treatment. A standard that should not be compromised during a pandemic. However, undertaking clinical studies during a pandemic is challenging, as we need to understand how many people will be infected and where these infections will take place.

Watch the recording of our live streamed talk from Prof Thomas Jaki. This witty and entertaining talk pitched for secondary school students and general public audiences explains why clinical trials are so important to find out possible treatment options, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
