Covid19 in VR: Omicron variant and spike protein mutations

Dr. Mike Kuiper is a Bio Molecular Modeler at CSIRO's Data61. In this session he walks us through the structure of the Omicron mutation and explains why it has a higher chance for immune evasion.

Dr. Kuiper also shares how he used Nanome & VR in his COVID Omicron research.
