Senator Baldwin visited the lab to learn more about the research team’s efforts to study the virus that causes COVID-19, including genomic sequencing of variants of concern in Wisconsin and Michigan, and research to better understand transmission of the virus. All people were wearing a face mask and adhering to campus health and safety protocols as the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues.
