Meet a virologist, an immunologist, an infectious disease doctor and more from the University of Pittsburgh to learn about the creativity and innovation that drive life-saving vaccine research.
A severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a viral respiratory disease of animal origin. The most recent example is the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with a successful vaccine developed based on decades of knowledge.
Take part in activities to learn about the structure of viruses, how disease spreads, and see what scientists who work with these dangerous viruses in the Center for Vaccine Research have to wear.
The program includes a screening of the 3-minute film “Chasing COVID”. This documentary takes viewers inside the biocontainment laboratories in the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Vaccine Research where Dr. Paul Duprex, director and Jonas Salk, professor, and his team have been working collaboratively with scientists around the world to unlock the secrets of COVID-19 and find ways to defeat this new coronavirus.
Admission is free.
