LabRoots, the leading scientific social networking website offering premier, interactive virtual events and webinars, today announced the second event as part of its online Coronavirus Webinar Series to be hosted on June 17, 2020, in response to the ever-changing landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic. The first webinar kicked off on April 2nd, with record attendance and the second event of the series promises to generate the same excitement and outstanding participation.
Hosting approximately over 12,000 physicians, researchers, health educators, pharmacists, clinicians, scientists and industry and academia professionals, the program delivers an unprecedented line up of renowned speakers on a global basis featuring topics including, rapid NGS tools for viral research, effective RNA extraction for COVID-19 testing, systems-level immune dynamics from acute to recovery phase of severe COVID-19, diagnostic modalities for SARS-Cov-2, analysis of rare antigen-and virus specific T Cells, critical raw material for mRNA-based vaccine development, the role of serology in the next phase of COVID-19 investigation and response, patterns of intrahost and interhost variation in SARS-coV-2, setting up a COVID-19 clinical diagnostic testing lab, and development of rodent intracerebroventricular injection capabilities during COVID-19, all highlighted on the full agenda.
Several live panel discussions and Q&A from leading experts will offer new insights covering the impacts of the coronavirus disease with presentations revealing applications of flow cytometry and imaging flow cytometry to COVID-19 research, flexible solutions for SARS-CoV-2 detection, insights into the pathogeneis of COVID-19, and how gene expression assays and spatial biology can be used to study COVID-19.
The meeting also comprises a live keynote talk, “Another New Coronavirus? The Coronaviruses of the 21st Century” delivered by Dr. Stephen Morse, Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. “This pandemic virus is the third in a series of new coronaviruses introduced into the human population in the first three decades of the 21st Century, and one of many emerging viruses. I’ll discuss how these viruses emerge, and how we could have seen it coming and been better prepared to stop it earlier,” said Stephen S. Morse, Professor of Epidemiology at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health. “There’s also been a lot of misinformation – what some people call an “infodemic.” Fortunately, LabRoots’ platform provides a great way to give needed attention to our best scientific knowledge during this pandemic.”
“In times of uncertainty, LabRoots remains committed to bringing timely educational content and forward-facing approaches to the forefront especially as it pertains to this evolving disease,” said Greg Cruikshank, Chief Executive Officer of LabRoots. “This quarterly webinar series will continue to benefit the scientific community and help attendees better understand and navigate the challenges we face resulting from COVID-19.”
