August 10, 2009
San Francisco’s Channel 5 CBS News highlighted the work of virologist Charles Chiu, MD, PhD, in the UCSF Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center in an August 10 story on the Bay Area “medical sleuths” who are working to “unlock the mysteries” of the H1N1 flu virus of 2009. The segment interviews Chiu extensively, focusing on the center’s efforts to track the genetic changes of this virus over time, to assess how it is mutating and help inform the public health response. The story was linked to the start of clinical trials for the flu vaccine that has been formulated for this fall, specifically targeting the novel H1N1 (swine-origin) Type A virus. Chiu is affiliated the UCSF School of Medicine and the California Institute of Quantitative Biosciences (QB3).
