Dr. Michael Diamond is an infectious diseases specialist and the Herbert S. Gasser Professor of Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine. Dr. Diamond is widely recognized for his research on RNA viruses, particularly West Nile virus and Zika virus, contributing much to their molecular basis and immunity. His work as Associate Director of the Bursky Center for Human Immunology has led to the development of many antiviral therapies for these viruses. Recently, his lab has studied the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and led the development of the first nasal vaccine against COVID-19. For his work, Dr. Diamond has received immense recognition including the Stanley J. Korsmeyer Award and elections to the National Academy of Inventors, National Academy of Medicine, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the American Academy of Microbiology. Dr. Diamond has been hugely influential in the field of virology and I learned a lot from this interview, so I hope you enjoy this episode.
