Quantum Dot Probes Could Reveal New Ways to Address SARS-CoV-2
Researchers from NCATS and the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., developed a new tool that mimics how SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — infects a cell, which could potentially speed the drug discovery process for COVID-19.

Research at NCATS
NCATS research projects and initiatives focus on addressing scientific and technical challenges to reduce, remove, or bypass bottlenecks in the development of new treatments and tests that will ultimately improve human health. The Center studies translation on a system-wide level to accelerate the development of interventions for more than one disease.
Through its research initiatives, NCATS develops new approaches, technologies, resources, and models; demonstrates their usefulness in a specific disease or case study; and disseminates the data, analyses the methods to the larger scientific community.
NIH-NASA Biomedical Research Activities
NIH and NASA are exploring how biomedical research can address the challenges of deep space exploration and benefit human health in space and on Earth.
