What’s Next in Virus Detection and Vaccine Tech?

Free Stanford Webinar

Summary

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic the number of inexpensive and rapid viral tests has exploded along with new viral detection methods using wearable devices. These developments have the potential to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control, and are likely to have long-lasting ramifications for viral detection, telehealth, and precision health. 

In this webinar Professor Michael Snyder will review current testing technologies as well as viral detection using smartwatches and other wearables. He will also discuss the pros and cons of various approaches to vaccine design.

You Will Learn:
  • How viral infection is detected by identifying viral antigens and nucleic acids
  • How data captured by wearable devices can be used to detect infections
  • How vaccines have improved to be more effective and adaptable to new strains or variants

Speaker

Michael Snyder

Michael Snyder is the Stanford Ascherman Professor and Chair of Genetics and the Director of the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a leader in the field of functional genomics and proteomics, and one of the major participants of the ENCODE project. His laboratory was the first to perform a large-scale functional genomics project in any organism, and has launched many technologies in genomics and proteomics that have been used for characterizing genomes, proteomes and regulatory networks. Dr. Snyder received his Ph.D. training at the California Institute of Technology and carried out postdoctoral training at Stanford University.
