Source: Center for Health Security [Johns Hopkins University, Bloomberg School of Public Health]. Published: 6/25/2020. This 16-page report summarizes a study to develop an expert assessment of the promise and challenges posed by at-home infectious diagnostic technologies. A major aim of the study is to inform pandemic preparedness activities that rely on diagnostic technologies and determine how at-home approaches can integrate with and augment the existing diagnostic paradigm. Limitations surrounding access to diagnostic testing have dominated much of the current response to COVID-19 and highlight the need to have more rapid, convenient, and equitable access to testing.

Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH). Published: 6/24/2020. Efforts to develop antiviral drugs versus COVID-19 or vaccines for its prevention have been hampered by limited knowledge of the molecular details of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This 56-minute webinar describes Nevan Krogan's efforts to address this challenge. He and his lab expressed 26 of the 29 SARS-CoV-2 proteins in human cells and are using affinity–purification mass spectrometry to identify the human proteins physically associated with each.

Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH). Published: 5/6/2020. Although data on COVID-19 disease in humans are emerging at a steady pace, this one-hour 12-minute presentations discusses how certain aspects of the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 can only be studied in detail in animal models where repeated sampling and tissue collection are possible. Non-human primate models that recapitulate aspects of human disease are essential for the understanding of the pathogenic processes involved in severe respiratory disease and for the development of medical countermeasures such as vaccines and antivirals.
