Pandemics, such as Covid-19. are by definition essentially unanticipatable and rapid onset. Features unfortunately incompatible with current industry capabilities in drug discovery. This has led to a large number of studies, both theoretical and experimental to reposition, or reuse an existing drug for Covid-19 therapy. There are some general patterns of success in historical repositioning that point to the most likely strategies for drug repositioning, and also, following some specific data gathering and curation, to point towards specific actionable activities for Covid-19. The presentation will briefly overview drug repositioning as a general strategy, and then the focussed application of core concepts towards the treatment of Covid-19.
