We have more than 30 research projects underway tackling the coronavirus. We are working in partnership with national and international researchers, as well as with our clinical colleagues at various hospitals and healthcare precincts.
We have mobilised our expertise in immunology, virology, structural and system biology to better understand the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the immune response to it and to design relevant infection models to support research and therapeutic discovery. Researchers from our Infection and Immunity, Cardiovascular, Cancer, and Neuroscience Programs are working together for a comprehensive approach using our advanced Platform technologies.
Our researchers are also reaching out to inform the community with reliable, expert information about the COVID-19 pandemic and have responded to calls from the Australian Academy of Sciences to register as experts willing to assist with research and policy decision-making.
