The outbreak of COVID-19 has the world in a panic, hundreds of thousands of people sick, and a global economy trembling. Many scientists and health care professionals are working consistently to develop a vaccine solution in attempts to flatten the curve and keep the virus from becoming more deadly. Cracking the code to COVID-19 is Dr. Kizzmekia S. Corbett’s main focus as she leads her team of researchers for the right solution.
Dr. Corbett, a 34-year-old viral immunologist, is working with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases as the scientific lead for Dr. Barney Graham’s Seattle based team. Corbett believes the key to cracking the code is by finding a way to prevent the virus from binding to normal cells.
