サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In march of 2020, as the COVID pandemic was kicking off, Dr. Artem Babaian decided to focus his attention and efforts on identifying new corona virus hidden deep within the sequence read archive, a world wide depository of RNA sequences which has been described as the modern Library of Alexandria for genetics. In a matter of 11 days, Dr. Babaian and his team identified over 130k new RNA viruses using computational biology and AI. This feat cannot be overstated if you consider it took 130 years to identify the first 15k RNA viruses. Since then, Dr. Babian has identified over half a million new RNA virus, and if his work continues at a similar pace, that number will grow to 100 million by 2030. This work has earned Dr. Babaian the 2023 Gairdner Early Career Investigator Award, and solidified him as one of the foremost experts in the intersection of computational biology and virology.
