SciCafe:
The Long View on Viruses
Wednesday, April 6, at 7 pm ET
What can the long-term study of viruses
tell us about the aftermath of infections? Dr. W.
Ian Lipkin of Columbia University’s Mailman School
of Public Health discusses how research into the long-term
effects of exposure to viruses can lead to treatments
for chronic conditions sparked by an initial infection.
Discover how the behavior of viruses over time can
provide insight into the future of COVID-19 and its
long-term effects.
