As the pandemic ripped through Arizona communities unimpeded, Arizona State University acted decisively to bend the curve of infections downward. Teams across the entire university sprang into action to meet the critical needs for testing and tracking the virus and providing vaccines. Though the initial shock of the pandemic may be behind us, researchers from disciplines across ASU are tackling challenges that still lie ahead, from improving vaccines and tracking viral variants to understanding and treating long COVID.
