David Louis\, M.D.\, pathologist in chief at Massachusetts General Hospital\, will join us to answer questions about why the United States has lagged so far behind other countries in testing\, what kinds of tests labs are using\, whether serological tests will provide faster results than molecular tests\, how fast we can expect new point-of-care tests to be available nationwide\, and what Americans can expect as more testing is done nationwide. \nThere will be the opportunity to ask questions during the webcast but we also will take questions ahead of time to make sure we address what journalists need to know.

Under Louis\, the department has become a national leader in molecular diagnostics and pathology informatics. During the novel coronavirus pandemic\, the scarcity of tests has led the department to work with other hospitals and researchers to develop new tests to expand the number of patients who can be tested each day. \n\nDavid Louis \n\n\nJoseph Burns URL:https://healthjournalism.org/event/explaining-coronavirus-testing-for-your-audience/ CATEGORIES:Webinar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20200403T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20200403T010000 DTSTAMP:20231109T153715Z CREATED:20231103T180050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231109T153715Z UID:26657-1585875600-1585875600@healthjournalism.org SUMMARY:Developing a COVID-19 Vaccine: Free Webinar DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 3 at 12 p.m. Eastern \nLearn More\nLearn about the global race to develop a coronavirus vaccine. For over 40 years\, the Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health at the University of Maryland School of Medicine has researched and tested vaccines to fight some of the most lethal and widespread infectious diseases in the world.
