Abstract

This cooperative research project aims to decipher how immunity in SARS-CoV-2 virus infection modulates disease manifestations and whether viral genetic diversity is associated with disease outcomes and infectivity across Southeast and East Asia. In addition, this project seeks to identify novel broadly neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 for the development of innovative diagnostics and therapeutics.
