CSB Seminar: The evolutionary potential of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain

“The evolutionary potential of the SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain”
Jesse Bloom, Associate Professor,

Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Abstract:
Hopes for ending the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic rely largely on vaccines that are designed to elicit neutralizing antibodies that target the viral spike. Here I describe my lab’s work to understand how these antibodies target the spike’s receptor-binding domain, and the potential for viral mutations to affect recognition by these antibodies.
