11 top technologies advancing coronavirus research

Since late December, the world has been tackling a novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which causes the respiratory disease commonly known as COVID-19. As countries react to the ongoing pandemic, the comprehensive clinical picture of the virus itself remains incomplete. However, the scientific community continues to play its vital role in furthering our understanding of the virus, as well as working on practical solutions to help combat the disease through effective detection and treatment.
