With each new variant comes new questions. Could this variant take over? Will it cause more severe disease? Could it slip past our immune defenses and thwart our antiviral treatments? Finding the answers to these questions often involve carefully mapping the virus’s genome and studying how the virus behaves in cells in a lab. Verywell spoke with Nevan Krogan, PhD, a professor of cellular molecular pharmacology and director of the Quantitative Biosciences Institute at the University of California San Francisco....
