The GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and the FAIR GmbH (GSI/FAIR) uses its research potential and unique infrastructure to contribute to the management of the current corona pandemic. In several areas at GSI/FAIR, scientists are working to provide new insights and technologies that may help to fight the corona virus SARS-CoV-2. In cooperation with the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, methods for virus inactivation are being tested. These inactivated viruses are used for vaccine development. To this aim, the accelerators and laboratories on the Darmstadt campus are also being used. The laboratory is operational, while strictly abiding to safety regulations.
