Window on Williams – From Research Labs to Shots in Arms with Prof. Lois Banta
Until recently, many of us never thought much about what goes into making a vaccine. But now more than ever, it is important to understand the process that makes vaccines quickly and safely available to the public. From the initial research, to testing, to understanding vaccine ingredients and rollouts, this talk addresses many of the questions on people’s minds. Lois Banta, a Williams professor and chair of the Biology department, talks about the vaccination process. Professor Banta specializes in Microbiology, Genomics, and Molecular/Cell Biology. She currently teaches courses like Dangerous Exposures: Environment, Immunity, and Infectious Disease at Williams.
