An MU researcher has received a $200,000 one-year grant from the National Science Foundation to study an aspect of COVID-19. 

The research will study a protein on the current coronavirus, SARS-COV-2, that "has received little attention, but could hold promise for defeating the pandemic," according to an MU news release.

Grant recipient Steven Van Doren is a professor of biochemistry at MU. Joining him are research scientists Yan Fulcher and Rama Koppisetti.
