The Scientist - USA (2020-11)

Researchers require innovative solutions to ensure that their biobanking projects are a success. From initial sample collection to storage

and use in downstream applications, precious biospecimens should be handled with care. Precision medicine research in particular relies on

sophisticated biobanking systems to maintain sample integrity and streamline workflows. In this webinar, sponsored by Thermo Fisher Scientific,

Erik Steinfelder and Bogi Eliasen will examine the importance of biobanking in precision medicine, from early-stage research to diagnostics and

treatments.

ONDEMAND Biobanking and the Future of Precision Medicine

WEBINAR SPONSORED BY

For years, virologists predicted that coronaviruses would jump from animals to humans, causing new diseases. Unfortunately, those fears have been realized

and SARS-CoV-2 has spread across the globe. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, research on the origins and spread of coronaviruses is taking center stage. In

this multisponsored webinar brought to you by The Scientist, coronavirus experts will describe how SARS-CoV-2 came to infect humans. Linda Saif will give

a historical overview of SARS spillovers from animals to humans, and Neville Sanjana will describe recent work on a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant that

increases human infectivity.
