Description
COVID-19: The Postgenomic Pandemic by Hugh Pennington The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines was made possible by a biological revolution that occurred over a decade earlier. In 2008, the world entered the postgenomic era, where genetic information became widely available to scientists worldwide. This shift enabled virologists to study the SARS-like coronavirus and design vaccines quickly and effectively. The pandemic that swept the world in 2020 was the first 'postgenomic pandemic', marking a significant turning point in our understanding and response to pandemics. In this book, Hugh Pennington explains the science behind this development and its impact on global health. Pennington explores how the postgenomic era has revolutionized our approach to dealing with pandemics, including COVID-19.
