Published Papers

The pandemic presented both challenges and opportunities. One example of the latter: the chance to advance understanding of and the fight against the novel coronavirus through new research and published findings.

UC San Diego scientists were at the forefront, participating in the publication of dozens of peer-reviewed studies, reports, analyses and more across the spectrum of scientific investigation, from basic research and new methods of virus detection and prediction to the clinical consequences of infection and development of drugs and vaccines to address them.

Below is a partial list of published papers with brief descriptions and links:
