This webinar will focus on the origin and biology of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, the featured speaker will detail how our immune system responds to infection, how variants such as Omicron emerge and the featured speaker will delineate the different outcomes that can result, including long COVID. The webinar will also be open to questions should you wish to discuss any other topics of interest relating to this virus.
Register for the webinar to learn everything that is presently known about this virus and the diseases it causes.
