Hunting Down COVID-19
This week, "Office Hours" brings timely updates from cutting edge COVID-19 research. Dr. Weian Zhao is an Associate Professor at the Sue and Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center, Edwards Lifesciences Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Technology, and the departments of Biomedical Engineering, Biological Chemistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences at UCI. His current project is developing a more accurate method of testing for COVID-19 that detects antigens in the blood instead of the current nasopharyngeal tests. Find out more about Dr. Zhao and how you can donate to his research here: https://pharmsci.uci.edu/dr-weian-zhao/ Our intro song was "If I Had A Dime" by David Ryan Harris
