The drug is now in Phase III clinical trials at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and other academic hospitals across the U.S. Dartmouth virologist David Leib, PhD, will share how his lab collaborated with Atila Biosystems to validate a rapid, low-cost COVID-19 diagnostic test—which recenty received FDA emergency authorization and is being adopted by multiple countries.
