Dr. Katrin Schöning-Stierand and Dr. Christiane Ehrt (Universität Hamburg) will talk about their research on SARS-CoV-2.

Many scientists in the Hamburg metropolitan area are involved in research related to SARS-CoV-2 and the COVID-19 pandemic. In cooperation with the Helmholtz graduate school for Data Science in Hamburg (DASHH), the Leibniz ScienceCampus InterACt wants to increase the visibility of this research fostering new contacts and potential collaborations. Since August 12th, 2020, we are pleased to welcome many speakers and a highly interested interdisciplinary audience. The series represents unique platform for vivid exchange and takes place every two weeks with a 30-minute lecture and room for further discussions afterwards.

On Wednesday, May 5, at 4 pm. Dr. Katrin Schöning-Stierand and Dr. Christiane Ehrt (ZBH - Center for Bioinformatics, Universität Hamburg) will present highlights of their research on SARS-CoV-2. We are looking forward to the talk "Exploring SARS-CoV-2 Targets with the ProteinsPlus Web Server" dedicated to the introduction of a user-friendly and up-to-date web server (https://proteins.plus/) for the exploration of pharmaceutically relevant targets and its application to SARS-CoV-2. Also check out a recent article on their work for the de.NBI network (German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure): https://www.denbi.de/images/Downloads/deNBI_COVID19_brochure.pdf
