3D rendering of COVID-19 virus.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses are a family of RNA viruses that typically cause mild respiratory disease in humans. A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019. In light of COVID-19, Malone professors have recognized a pressing need to develop open-source engineering solutions to address many aspects of the crisis and our experts are closely following new developments in the COVID-19 outbreak.
