ETH Podcast

For the past four years, we have featured conversations with experts on current research topics in the ETH podcast. At the moment the podcast is taking an indefinite break. Until we launch a new podcast format, 43 exciting episodes are available for you to listen to. The alumni podcast "We Are ETH", a podcast series featuring stories from alumni and friends of ETH Zurich moved to its own channel: https://circle.ethz.ch/podcast/ -- ETH Zurich – Where the future begins!

episode 26: #COVID–19: Speed of spread


The genome of the virus is the key

Tanja Stadler has been in the Swiss media quite a lot lately. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, she knows how to interpret data regarding the spread of the virus. On the ETH Podcast she explains how characterising the genomes of virus samples taken from different infected patients gives her insight into how fast the virus spreads. The data she is using comes from many nations around the globe. “It is remarkable how willingly researchers and authorities are sharing their data during this crisis,” she says.
