Coronavirus Lab

The lab's focus

Our lab main focus is figuring out how coronaviruses viruses operate at a molecular level.

We use organoid technology to model coronavirus infections with high precision

Some of our Questions

How does coronavirus infection lead to disease?

Why do certain coronaviruses cause mild and others severe disease?

What determines which organ or cell type is infected by a coronavirus?

What happens to the cell after the infection is cleared?

What are organoids?

Organoids are miniature versions of organs that we can grow in the lab. We grow them from stem cells!

Why do we need them?

Using organoid technology we can study coronaviruses in the exact cells they infect in nature. This enables us to model these infections with high precision.
