Scientists wanted to figure out the effect of a new drug called remdesivir on COVID-19 patients. They then administered the drug to hundreds of patients in a clinical trial. Some patients got the actual drug, while other patients got the placebo (a sugar pill). This will determine whether giving remdesivir to patients is an effective treatment against COVID-19. In the study, they collected data regarding how each COVID-19 patient responded to the drug. Their data consists of the health status and condition of every patient for every day they are hospitalized.
Is this an example of a bioinformatics research study? Explain your answer.
