The Science of COVID-19: Aspects of Infection, Immunity, Treatment and Testing
The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 has been called the “perfect pathogen” due to it being both highly infectious and virulent. This presentation will provide an overview of our current understanding of how the virus damages the lungs, the good – and bad – of the resulting immune response, the potential for treatments/vaccines, and the mechanisms underlying the various testing strategies.
This event is sponsored by the Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues.
