Infectious diseases like COVID-19 can severely damage various organs. Understanding how infectious agents spread from the lungs to the rest of the body and their behavior in different organs and tissues leads scientists to develop more effective treatments. In this webinar, Arutha Kulasinghe will discuss how his team uses spatial transcriptomics to uncover the mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2-induced effects on multiple organs and tissues.

Topics to be covered

Wednesday, May 31st, 2023 | 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM Eastern Time This webinar will be available to view live and on demand.

Viruses that jump from animals to humans have plagued human populations for centuries. From rabies to the Zika virus to the recent SARS-CoV-2 virus, understanding how each virus spills over and infects new species reveals critical insights into viral dynamics, human biology, and disease. In this webinar, Pranav Pandit and Daniel Streicker will discuss zoonotic virus pathology, spillover events, and future mitigation strategies.
