Speakers:
Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., President and Carson Family Professor
Laboratory of Human Genetics and Genomics, The Rockefeller University
Charles M. Rice, Ph.D., Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Professor in Virology
Laboratory of Virology and Infectious Disease, The Rockefeller University
Rockefeller University experts in infectious disease, immunology, biochemistry, structural biology, and genetics have projects underway that are aimed at understanding, preventing, and treating the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is responsible for the current global COVID-19 pandemic. Virologist Charles Rice and his colleagues have identified a human cellular gene that blocks entry into cells by many types of coronaviruses, including the virus that causes COVID-19. The goal of this research is to discover drugs that will help patients during the present pandemic while developing broad-spectrum therapeutics that will also prepare us for future coronavirus outbreaks. Hosted by President Rick Lifton. For more information, visit: https://covid-19-research.rockefeller.edu.
