Natasha, tell us, is the Poonawalla goal this year to find a vaccine for the deadly coronavirus?
“We are working relentlessly with our teams here at Serum and with international partners to expedite the timelines for the vaccine launch. Serum has already started its work towards finding a vaccine for the deadly COVID-19 virus. We have already made strides in the pre-clinical test phase and hopefully will progress towards the next phase at the earliest. We have partnerships with multiple organisations in the US; one example is Codagenix based out of New Jersey. We hope to enter into human trials for safety tests in six months.
“Ensuring welfare for the society by giving back to them at every aspect has been the long-standing raison d’être of our family. Our endeavors, from Serum’s proactive undertaking of discovering vaccines for life-threatening diseases to the philanthropic initiatives of our foundation – we have been diligently focused towards building a sustainable and secure environment for our generation and the next.”
We also see how generously you have provided immunity advice on your insta account… as a powerful influencer, how do you see your role?
“The world today is unfolding in an incalculable manner, which is fascinating but also there’s certainly a fear of the unknown. Everyday we are being introduced to new information, stories, innovations and at the same time too many opinions from not too many experts. Infodemic is the new epidemic, that makes people at power with a certain position be more accountable to bring out meaningful and impactful changes. I have believed in always walking the talk and driving change through my position and influence.
