Dr. Arinjay Banerjee
Laboratory for Zoonotic Viruses and Comparative Immunology, University of Saskatchewan
Past, present and future of SARS-CoV-2 

​Dr. Arinjay Banerjee is a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Karen Mossman’s laboratory at McMaster University. Over the last 6 years, he has studied emerging zoonotic viruses, such as coronaviruses that spill over from wildlife species (eg. bats) to infect humans and cause severe disease. More recently, Dr. Banerjee has been investigating SARS-CoV-2 and its interaction with the human immune system. In this talk, he will discuss his current research on SARS-CoV-2 and work that his team shall undertake at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization to investigate emerging zoonotic viruses and develop countermeasures.
