K-바이오, 전 세계 코로나19 치료제•백신 생산기지로 떠올랐다
South Korean biotech firm Samsung Biologics has recently provided antibody treatments for COVID-19 to U.S.-based firm Eli Lilly for mass production.
According to industry watchers on Wednesday, Samsung Biologics has already produced a small amount of treatment at its labs in South Korea in cooperation with Eli Lilly, and has sent this to the U.S. to be mass produced.
Samsung Biologics made the agreement with Eli Lilly back in May, and also has an agreement with another global pharmaceutical firm.
Back in July, another industry leader SK bioscience signed an agreement to produce a COVID-19 vaccine with British-Swedish bio-giant AstraZeneca... before also signing with U.S. firm Novavax.
