From serological testing to vaccine production, the research community has made incredible progress in the last few months to halt COVID-19. In this SynBioBeta Town Hall, host John Cumbers will invite a diverse range of experts to share their progress, advice, and stories from the front lines of COVID research. We’ll discuss the progress we’ve made, what’s standing in the way of beating the virus, emerging partnerships, and the latest tools and services that are now available to help researchers tackle the pandemic. Some questions for discussion:

• What are the latest advances in serological testing as the world opens back up for business?
• What is qPCR’s evolving role in detection and surveillance?
• How has COVID changed the nature of antibodies research?
• What are the challenges and opportunities in plasmid manufacturing for COVID-19 and beyond?
