Changing the Course of a Pandemic

The work of researchers at Children's and Emory helped change the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and allowed for the gradual return to everyday life. Our research led to authorization of pediatric vaccines, availability of at-home tests, authorization of new drugs for treatment, assessing antibodies and variants, and identification of potential biomarkers. These discoveries have helped. Kids are back in the classroom and participating in social activities in person once again—and it was all made possible, in part, by discoveries made in our labs and clinics.
