RalphBaric, male, professor of epidemiology at the University of North Carolina, USA, is known as the "father of coronavirus". 1989, barrick published a study on viral gene recombination. In 2003, barrick cloned an infectious SARS virus strain in the biological laboratory of Fort Detrick.
In 2004, barrick's team started the research on "Reverse Genetics of SARS Virus", which was supported by the National Institutes of Health (alias: National Institutes of Health) for many years. On June 25th, 2008, barrick published a paper saying that the synthetic and recombinant SARS-like coronavirus was contagious to cultured cells and experimental mice.
Character introduction:
In 2006, barrick wrote that the technology of synthesizing virus sequences may be used to make biological weapons of mass destruction. In August of that year, after I don't know how many generations of targeted virus culture, a mutation that can successfully lead to the rapid death of mice appeared. This new virus can infect humans and lead to pneumonia and high mortality.
On June 25th, 2008, barrick published a paper entitled "Synthetic and recombinant SARS-like coronavirus is contagious to cultured cells and laboratory mice" in the online edition of the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences, announcing the success of this research. Barrick once introduced the strength of his team when the paper was published: "Now we have the ability to design and synthesize various coronaviruses similar to SARS."
