Dr. Alina Chan is the co-author of VIRAL: The Search For The Origin Of Covid-19. The book was co-written with Matt Ridley and published in 2021 by HarperCollins UK and US.
Chan is a postdoctoral researcher with a background in medical genetics, synthetic biology, and vector engineering. At the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard, she is currently creating next generation vectors for human gene therapy. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she began to investigate problems relevant to finding the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and in parallel spearheaded the development of the COVID-19 CoV Genetics (covidcg.org) browser for scientists worldwide to rapidly track virus lineages and mutations by locations and date ranges of interest.
