A international consortium led by the Helmhotz Zentrum in Munich has identified more than 200 protein interactions between the virus and the human cells.
Andreas Zanzoni and Christine Brun from TAGC have contributed to the analysis of the contactome map in the context of the RiPCoN project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (H2020-SC1-PHE-CORONAVIRUS-2020).
