Marco Salemi of UF has joined a global effort with The Rockefeller Foundation to track the coronavirus and its variants, as well as plan for future pandemic protocol. A main focus is conducting genomic analysis of the virus to understand how COVID-19 behaves in America.
“The idea is to put an infrastructure in place, a consortium of universities and labs that have the know-how, personnel and necessary administrative support to immediately deploy resources in the field as soon as there is a new outbreak — to get samples, sequence them and obtain molecular information about the new circulating virus,” Salemi said.
