At the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard, Dr. Chan is currently creating next generation vectors for human gene therapy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Chan began to investigate problems relevant to finding the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and in parallel spearheaded the development of the COVID-19 CoV Genetics browser for scientists worldwide to rapidly track virus lineages and mutations by locations and date ranges of interest.

Descriere
It's the greatest whodunnit mystery of the century: how did the first detected outbreak of Covid-19 start in Wuhan city?We know that the natural reservoir of SARS-related coronaviruses is in bats, but we do not how, where, and when SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19, acquired the ability to begin infecting people.
Recenzii
"Chan and Ridley write with urgency in defending why people ought to take the SARS-CoV-2 lab-leak hypothesis seriously...That urgency inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats...They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature."
— New York Times Book Review
"Viral collates a series of circumstantial but damning points in favour of the lab-leak hypothesis." — Sunday Times (London)
"Chan and Ridley's new book is a viral whodunnit that is sure to appeal to armchair detectives." — The Guardian
“Alina Chan and Matt Ridley assemble perhaps the most comprehensive case for the lab-leak theory currently available.” — Wall Street Journal
“Both journalists and armchair detectives interested in the mystery of the coronavirus were discovering Chan as a kind of Holmes to our Watson. She crunched information at twice our speed, zeroing in on small details we’d overlooked, and became a go-to for anyone looking for spin-free explications of the latest science on COVID-19.” — Boston Globe Magazine
