A crystal ball for cold viruses

(Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) Is it possible to predict the course of a viral respiratory tract infection - for instance one caused by a coronavirus - based on individual patient characteristics? This question will be addressed by Dr. Victor Corman and his junior research group at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Submitted for approval last year, this research endeavor has taken on a new level of significance within the context of the current pandemic.
