COVID-19 Research in NIAID Labs

When COVID-19 was identified in early 2020, NIAID intramural laboratory scientists mobilized quickly to study the virus including basic research on its origin, how the virus causes disease, and by developing animal study models with the goals of developing diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines. Much of the coronavirus research ongoing at NIAID takes place in these laboratories:
