A new opportunity
The wise man knows he is going to die, but he lives and resists death as much as he can.
-Alejandro Dolina
In medical terms, it is called innate immunity to the natural protection or defense barrier with which each individual is born. It serves to recognize foreign elements and protect us from potentially harmful agents. It is one of the first gifts that Nature gives us, protection. However, our inherent organic condition leads us to exposure to pathogens, predators, and threats, both natural and cultural, that put our integrity at continuous risk; it is a cyclical process where one of the agents overlaps the other.
The COVID-19 pandemic is possibly the most cathartic event that humanity has suffered so far in the twentieth century, as it has put at risk that security of which we were not so aware.
On the other hand, while various industries had the opportunity to take a break and resurface, others had to transform the way they carried out their processes radically. In this context, the scientific environment has been saddled with moral responsibility and the need for innovation to sustain itself and the overdemand of its knowledge and safeguard the human species today more than ever. Therefore, in this new stage of the CLIR project, with DROX Health Science, we reach the next level, paying tribute to all those work and health industry agents who have shown that survival lies in the deep love of life, vigorous research, and teamwork.
The COVID-19 pandemic has opened the window to show us that health research is indispensable to survive biological contingencies and that the Latin American scenario has the potential to lead to a medical-industrial superpower if the optimal link between key agents is made. In this new opportunity, we combine knowledge for the common benefit; at Clinical Research Insider, we create an ecosystem of valuable information to bring into your hands. We are sure that disseminating science is the first step to consolidating our permanence as a species.
More than two years after the beginning of our pandemic, we thank each individual involved in building the future landscape. It remains only to praise the extraordinary nobility of the scientific and medical community because working at rates in which human strength is challenged, with the skill of going beyond the predictable, they have generated new knowledge and, in short, have given us a unique opportunity.
