Queen's University Belfast is trying to find a cure for coronavirus by using drugs that treat other conditions.
The college was recently awarded a grant of 315,000 euro in a bid to find a vaccine for Covid-19.
Dr Lindsay Broadbent is a virologist at the university and explains the reasoning behind their research.
"We're looking into repurposing existing drugs, and the reason we're doing this is these drugs are already licensed for use in other conditions.
"It means if we find something that works we don't have to go through the process of checking that they're safe for people to take, as that's already been done.
"We're investigating a range of different drugs - those include anti virals and anti inflammatories."
