What is it like researching COVID-19 — the disease that has changed the world? And where do we go from here? University of Maryland School of Medicine Professor of Microbiology and Immunology Matthew Frieman, PhD, takes us on his journey in this supersized episode to researching coronaviruses (2:41), the future of therapeutic medications battling COVID-19 (20:38), and what we should expect this fall (49:09). We also hope we didn't jinx Dr. Frieman about COVID-19 (16:42), and ask him what keeps him up at night: variants, new viruses, or a return of an old virus (39:01).
