We're proud to share groundbreaking research from our own Dr. Luis Martinez-Sobrido and Dr. Chengjin Ye, in collaboration with Dr. Jueqi Chen (University of Chicago), uncovering how SARS-CoV-2 shields itself inside the body to better replicate and spread.
Published in Nature Communications, the study reveals a key protective mechanism used by the virus to evade immune defenses. Disrupting this mechanism significantly reduces infection—offering a promising new target for COVID-19 treatments and informing future vaccine and antiviral strategies.
This discovery highlights the impactful work being done at Texas Biomed to better understand, prevent, and treat infectious diseases.
