Stuart Siddell

Background Information

Dr. Stuart Siddell is currently researching coronaviruses, specifically SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). His work and studies are leading him towards a possible cure of this often deadly disease.

Accomplishments

Before Dr. Siddell's work with coronaviruses, the genetic material in coronaviruses had to be cloned by bacteria, which was unstable. Now they have a better system so they can study the viruses in more detail.
