Facility manager Dr Agnieszka Szemiel discusses innovative techniques, such as reverse genetics which allow the hub team to determine whether each drug might be effective against different variants for example. She also discusses what makes a good virologist, and the skills that are imperative to working effectively and safely in a high containment level laboratory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":606,"template":"","section_category":[40],"events_category":[59],"acf":{"age_restriction":["13 and over"],"start_date":"2021-05-11 00:00:00","header_before":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Curious About: Innovation - Looking for New Treatments Against COVID-19- CVR CRUSH\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2p5qngD5EvI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"header_after":[{"acf_fc_layout":"header_embed","embed":"<iframe title=\"Curious About: Innovation - Looking for New Treatments Against COVID-19- CVR CRUSH\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2p5qngD5EvI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"}],"short_description":"The race against the virus.
