The long — and very, very short — journey to the COVID-19 vaccines
Bioengineering Professor Markus Covert explains the history of vaccines — and the science that produced new COVID-19 vaccines in record time.
Amid the worst pandemic in a century, Markus Covert (https://profiles.stanford.edu/markus-covert?releaseVersion=7.23.0&_ga=2.1714231.724906414.1614691467-1409584263.1614691467), a bioengineer who explores the machinery and chemistry of life itself, recounts the fascinating history of vaccine science.
He then leads a deep look at the mRNA production method that yielded the first safe and highly effective COVID-19 vaccine in just 66 days — a process that until recently would have taken years.
Please join bioengineer Markus Covert for a fascinating exploration of medical history, cutting-edge science and, ultimately, human psychology in this special presentation brought to you by the Stanford School of Engineering.
