The National Center of Biological Products, a Science and Technology entity integrated into the actions of the State to update the economic model, takes on new challenges facing COVID-19 in its science and innovation activity. In just 10 weeks, a transport medium for SARS-CoV-2 was developed and registered; the application of Biomodulin T® was also introduced into the prevention protocols with more than 10 000 older adults treated, without any subject having acquired the disease. Two new drugs derived from the research were introduced and 2,8 millions of units of other eight products were produced. The main dynamic elements leading into the generation of innovative products were adapted to the new conditions, especially the management of highly qualified and motivated human capital, the most intensive use of productive and analytical capacities, complying with the high regulatory standards, the business structure, the logistics system, and commercial management.Downloads
