AYA member Matthijs Brouwer, neurologist at Amsterdam UMC, explains how medical research is regulated today, why these formal procedures take too long in the event of an acute outbreak of a virus like Covid-19, and how the coronavirus crisis has brought researchers and review committees together – to prove that much more is possible than initially thought.
