Krogan Q&A: Collaboration and the new era of science

In the Quantitative Biosciences Institute (QBI) Coronavirus Research Group (QCRG), Nevan Krogan, PhD, built a transdisciplinary, multi-lab, multi-institutional, multi-national, multi-sector open-science consortium in which over a thousand trainees and senior investigators worked together—overcoming...

QBI and Director Krogan’s COVID and infectious disease efforts continue to make waves

Beyond the spike protein

Findings from QBI point to a host of viral proteins that enable SARS-CoV-2 variants to evade the immune system.

Cancer drug stops SARS-CoV-2 in the lab

“If you get a drug that targets a human protein, it would be incredibly hard for the virus to mutate away from being reliant on it,” said Nevan Krogan, the director of QBI.

QBI probes three lethal coronaviruses to find possible drug targets

“This is looking across coronaviruses and finding the commonalities so we’re in a better position to attack SARS3 when it comes,” said Nevan Krogan, the director of QBI.
