Molecular Biology of SARS-CoV-2 is a comprehensive resource for researchers, clinical scientists, physicians, and students, providing in-depth and extended content on the virus that causes COVID-19. It offers a primer in this complex area, covering the basic science, clinical data, and various perspectives on how SARS-CoV-2 infects cells, replicates, manipulates cellular machinery, evades host defenses, and is transmitted to other hosts. The book covers the origin and structure of SARS-CoV-2, followed by chapters based on the life cycle of the virus. It provides a thorough review of what is known for each molecular component of the viral life cycle while incorporating information on pertinent prevention and therapeutic interventions. The authors, Drs. Roberto Patarca and William A. Haseltine, are experts in their respective fields. Dr. Patarca is the Chief Medical Officer at ACCESS Health International and a former pharmaceutical and medical device company executive and faculty at Harvard Medical School and the University of Miami. His research has focused on the AIDS virus, microbial replication regulation, adoptive cellular immunotherapy, drug resistance testing, cardiovascular interventions, and chronic fatigue syndrome. He has served on Advisory Committees to two U.S. Secretaries of Health and Human Services, been elected to the Academy of Sciences of Latin America, worked with the World Health Organization on standardization of cytokine level measurements, and has been published widely. Dr. Haseltine is a physician, scientist, and entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of ACCESS Health International, a global health organization that develops and delivers innovative healthcare solutions to underserved populations. He has been involved in the development of numerous vaccines, including the Ebola vaccine, and has been recognized for his contributions to the field of infectious diseases. Molecular Biology of SARS-CoV-2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about the virus that causes COVID-19. It provides a comprehensive overview of the basic science and clinical data, and offers insights into the various perspectives on how the virus infects cells, replicates, and is transmitted.
