Purdue scientists key in state s battle against COVID variants, future viral threats

Purdue researchers use malaria expertise to track COVID-19 in Indiana

Purdue researchers use malaria expertise to track COVID-19 in Indiana Scientists have been using genetics to track diseases for decades. Now, a team at Purdue University that typically tracks malaria spread in Southern and Central Africa is using its expertise to track COVID-19 in Indiana. Giovanna Carpi s lab studies the genomics of infectious diseases to better understand how they spread. An assistant professor of biological sciences, she focuses her research primarily on malaria. With the onset of the pandemic, her lab pivoted to study the genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, including tracking variants. Tracking variants of diseases - whether they are bacterial like tuberculosis, viral like SARS-CoV-2 or parasitic like malaria - helps scientists understand how they travel in a community, how they mutate and adapt, and how vaccines and other mitigation strategies are working.
