What is Herd Immunity?

As part of the London Proteomics Discussion Group webinar series: "SARS-CoV-2: What role can proteomics play?" Dr Münch presented his work on changes in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting potential therapies.

The novel coronavirus sweeping the globe packs 27 proteins, each adopting a unique, often incredibly complex 3D structure. Each protein is part of the molecular toolkit that the virus uses to infect, replicate, and spread. Understanding the proteins' structures provides a blueprint for drug designs.

Dr. Fabiana Quaglia, Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Technology at the Faculty of Pharmacy–University of Napoli Federico II, Italy discusses how reliability and smart features of the rotary evaporator, Rotavapor® R-300, let her easily evaporate solvents in particle production for cancer and cystic fibrosis drug development and formulation.
