Listen "Crystallizing Coronavirus with Sarah Bowman"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Sarah EJ Bowman is Director of the High-Throughput Crystallization
Screening Center at the Hauptman-Woodward Institute in Buffalo, New York.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the U.S., Sarah’s lab has been studying
key components that make up the novel coronavirus. At the Crystallization
Center in Buffalo, crucial non-infectious elements of the virus are coaxed
into crystals that can help researchers see the otherwise invisible
structure of the virus. Knowing what these extremely small viral parts look
like helps researchers understand how new or existing existing drugs might
be effective in fighting the virus.
