This virtual event offers insight into the current research of MIT investigators who have taken existing projects and pivoted their technology and approaches to focus on urgent and pressing needs related to the COVID-19 crisis. With an introduction by KI director Tyler Jacks, researchers will share their projects addressing PPE, diagnostics, and vaccine development. After each presentation, a brief moderated Q&A session will allow participants to learn more about the science and understand how the Koch Institute’s flexible, collaborative research models allow for rapid response and agility across the biomedical landscape.
