Research in Brief: The What, Why, and How
Research from the Kirchdoerfer Lab identifies that multiple coronaviruses share protein features in critical viral machinery, suggesting the possibility of antivirals that treat multiple coronaviruses.
SARS-CoV-2 research featured in Grow magazine
As part of the global effort to understand SARS-CoV-2 (the coronavirus that causes COVID-19), CALS scientists have pivoted their existing research projects, launched entirely new studies, and banded together to share knowledge and resources. Experts in the Department of Biochemistry are the linchpins of many of these efforts.
Tim Grant joins (joined) biochemistry faculty, Morgridge Institute for Research
You may have missed Tim Grant’s arrival on campus earlier this year: he joined the Biochemistry faculty and the Morgridge Institute for Research at a historic time, on the brink of campus-wide shutdown due to COVID-19.
