The laboratories are also working together to develop preventive vaccines and therapeutic agents against COVID-19, conducting epidemiological surveys to understand the infection situation and carrying out genome analysis.

At the press seminar, six HU researchers explained their areas of expertise and engaged in a lively exchange of opinions with reporters. During the conference, Professor Junko Tanaka — HU's Executive Vice President — commented, "Hiroshima University is responding to the research on the novel coronavirus with various studies. We ask for your continued support and assistance in the future.”
