Dorit Arad, President & Chief Scientific Officer of NLC Pharma, was reported saying that the company has been focusing on understanding diagnostic and therapeutic uses of 3CL protease. He further added that a proper dietary supplement, which can aid in maintaining healthy immune system by stopping or slowing viral replication, is the best approach to acquire herd immunity as well as to re-open economies.
