The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted pressing challenges in biomedical research methodology. It has become obvious that the rapid and effective development of treatments for "new" viral infections is impossible without the coordination of interdisciplinary research and in-depth analysis of data obtained within the framework of the post-genomic paradigm. ⋯ The futility of the overly simplified approach, which considers only one "most important receptor protein", only one "key virus gene", etc., is shown.
