SUMMARY:COVID-19 and Effective Diagnostics - Webinar - 17 Apr 20 12:00
DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;\nCOVID-19 and Effective Diagnostics\n\nApril 17\, 2
 020\nZOOM Meeting:&nbsp\; Noon - 1 PM\nREGISTER\n\nSARS-CoV-2 virus and th
 e COVID-19 Pandemic. Effective diagnostics are the key to recovery of heal
 th\, society and the economy.\n\nDiagnostics have never been more importan
 t or visible on the world stage than they are today in the midst of our gl
 obal pandemic. Diagnostics are critical not only to identify those who are
  sick\, but also those who can affect and help treat others. Because of wi
 despread anxiety and fear\, there is much confusion and false information 
 circulating.\n\nThis particular coronavirus and the disease it causes are 
 sufficiently novel that our current state of knowledge to guide diagnostic
  (and therapeutic) development is quite limited\, particularly in asymptom
 atic and recovering patients.\n\nThe potential global market for testing i
 s huge and the result is a free-for-all gold rush to sell tests. We will r
 eview the challenges\, opportunities and imperatives for diagnostics in th
 e mid and later stages of this devastating pandemic as well as ASU’s uni
 que role and impact in our community.\n\nJoshua LaBaer\, Executive Directo
 r and Professor\, ASU Biodesign Institute and Center Director and Faculty 
 Member\, Virginia G. Piper Center for Personalized Diagnostics and Mara As
 pinall\, Professor of Practice and Managing Director of BlueStone Venture 
 Partners will share insights on the role of diagnostics in the current hea
 lthcare system as well as the important role that ASU and Biodesign is pla
 ying with its important testing capabilities.\n\n\n\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n
