Life Science Day 2021: COVID-19 and KTH’s research for future pandemics
What did KTH scientists do to fight COVID-19? What are they planning to prepare society for in the pandemics to come? In this workshop we will demonstrate the broad palette of COVID-19 related research at KTH, which includes diagnostic testing, serology, logistics in health care, monitoring and prediction of virus spread and epidemiology. Keynote speaker is Professor Kenneth R Chien from Karolinska Institutet, co-founder of Moderna. He will give a presentation about Moderna´s development of the Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. The workshop is organised by the KTH Life Science Platform.
