Argonne National Laboratory | Argonne Voices - Shining a Light on Covid-19: Argonne's Role in Vaccine Development @ArgonneLab | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, scientists produced effective vaccines in record time – thanks in part to research conducted nearly a decade ago at Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS). The APS works like a giant X-ray microscope. The ultrabright light allows scientists to see deep within materials to understand their makeup.
Jason McLellan, a structural biologist, has conducted research at the APS for years studying the protein structures of different viruses. In conversation with Bob Fischetti, Life Sciences Advisor at the APS, Jason explains the nature of his research that laid the groundwork for the development of life-saving COVID-19 vaccines.
Argonne Voices is an oral history project recording the stories behind decades of world-changing science at the Laboratory.
