This episode of #ExpertAnswers features Ole Petersen, Director of the Cardiff University - Academia Europaea Knowledge Hub, Roop Mallik, Associate professor at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, and Nobel Laureate Erwin Neher, Director Emeritus of Membrane Biophysics at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysical Chemistry.

Drs. Petersen, Mallik and Neher joined us for a webinar in which they discussed how the COVID-19 virus uses receptor-mediated endocytosis to gain entry into host cells, how motor proteins guide endosomes and phagosomes from the cell surface to lysosomes, and how intracellular calcium buffering can be used to modulate cell signaling and calcium imaging.
