What Tools Do Scientists Use to Study
Viruses?
During
the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists were able to decode the
SARS-CoV-2 virus’s genome in under 48 hours, get a view of its
microscopic structure with unprecedented detail, and forecast
its spread with the help of mathematical modeling. In this new
video, discover the various tools and methods that help
researchers track viruses and develop defenses like vaccines
and antiviral drugs.
