Webinar: COVID-19 - A Viral Disease with Viral Implications

Since the first case of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019, the pandemic has deeply changed the world. Global economies, our lives, our social interactions, and our relationships with science have been permanently modified.

Joining us in our upcoming Interdisciplinary Distinguished Speaker Series is Professor Laurent Renia, Executive Director of Infectious Diseases Horizontal Technology Center at A*STAR. As a scientist in direct contact with the SARS-CoV-2 virus within a Singaporean research consortium on COVID-19, he has had to adapt and redirect his lab activities to address new questions about the biology of this unknown virus and how our body can fight it.

In this webinar, Professor Renia will discuss the lessons learnt from the pandemic, and how we can be better prepared and react faster to a possible future pandemic of this magnitude.
