Hosted by SciLine, with an opportunity for Q&A
Wednesday, Feb. 17, at 1:00 PM EST
A year into the global COVID-19 pandemic, physicians and researchers are battling two newly frustrating phenomena: the spread of novel coronavirus variants with potential to undermine patients’ immune-system defenses, and a mysterious long-lasting medical syndrome in survivors, for which there remains no definitive treatment. SciLine’s next media briefing will delve into the latest research on these biomedical challenges, and provide reporters with opportunities for Q&A. Dr. Hana Akselrod, assistant professor of medicine at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dr. Christian Sandrock, professor of pulmonary and critical medicine at UC Davis School of Medicine will offer their expertise to reporters. SciLine Director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing.
