Description
Long Haul COVID-19 and Virus Evolution
Instructor: Dr. Phoebe Lostroh
(this is a videotaped class)
COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, caught medical science unprepared despite prior experience with SARS, MERS, and less clinically-threatening human coronaviruses. What vaccines and specific pharmaceuticals are in development to bring the pandemic to an end? These three classes will provide a microbiologist’s perspective on these topics, will introduce the biology and epidemiology of COVID-19, and then focus on vaccines and treatments.
