On the Front Lines
Georgia State University faculty have joined the race to unravel how novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) operates and find effective treatments.
Faculty members are attacking the questions from the biomedical standpoint through work by virologists in the university’s Institute for Biomedical Sciences, epidemiological expertise through the School of Public Health, disease detector investigators through the Center for Diagnostics and Therapeutics, and more.
These researchers include faculty of the university’s Second Century Initiative (2CI), the predecessor program to the Next Generation Program, which seeks to build excellence in research and scholarship. Christopher Basler and Gerardo Chowell, both hired under 2CI, are making significant contributions to virology and epidemiology respectively.
