Meet 'The Coronavirus Hunter' Ralph Baric
Posted Jun 3, 2020
The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 took most of the world by surprise — but not Ralph Baric. He is an epidemiologist at UNC who has been dubbed “the coronavirus hunter.” Baric has been tracking coronaviruses for decades and working on medications to treat coronavirus-caused infections, including remdesivir, a drug that the FDA approved for COVID-19 treatment.
