Meet Dr. Arinjay Banerjee
Welcome to SciSection! Joining us in today's interview is our special guest Dr. Arinjay Banerjee, a postdoctoral researcher at McMaster University who was a member of the team that isolated the novel coronavirus 🥼! We'll be learning about his career as a virologist studying bats and coronaviruses, a journey that started six years before the COVID-19 outbreak; his involvement in isolating the novel coronavirus, as well as his current research moving forward and how he hopes to help prevent future pandemics.
In this interview, I speak with Anna Yang from SciSection and discuss my journey as a virologist studying bats and coronaviruses.
