Please see the registration link for our upcoming Seminar on Structure-Function Studies of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike and Development of COVID-19 Interventions on Tuesday, March 29th at 5:00 PM EDT.

Presenter Bio

Dr. Jason McLellan

Dr. Jason McLellan (University of Texas at Austin) researches viral proteins, and his work to understand how these proteins are structured and how they function has factored into the development of vaccines and potential treatments for deadly viruses that have impacted the lives of billions of people. He is one of the inventors of a way to engineer a key protein in coronaviruses for use in vaccines. The technology his team developed can be found in many leading vaccines against COVID-19 (Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson and Johnson and Novavax). McLellan and his colleagues also designed key proteins that form the basis of several vaccines now in clinical trials against the coronavirus, as well as separate proteins used in vaccines against respiratory syncytial virus, a virus especially dangerous for young children and seniors.

Seminar will be held via Zoom on March 29, 2022 at 5:00 PM EDT. Please register in advance for this webinar at this link: https://american-chemical-society.zoom.com/webinar/register/WN_1adBP6i5TDCVWpokIwq6Yg
