Knowing which strains respond to specific treatments is a vital part of managing the pandemic. Several OHSU scientists have pivoted their research to contribute to the global effort of tackling COVID-19.
Shaping research
Martin Schreiber has built an illustrious career in medicine and the military, shaping how the two can influence each other.
Building a COVID-19 testing lab
Two weeks. That’s all it took for Donna Hansel, MD, PhD, and her team, together with colleagues at the OHSU Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, to build, stock and staff a new clinical testing laboratory for COVID-19 — all from scratch.
