Tulane University School of Medicine virologists and study co-authors Robert Garry (left) and Dr. James Robinson have been researching Lassa fever with partners in West Africa for more than a decade. Scientists collected blood samples from survivors in Sierra Leone and sent them back to New Orleans where Robinson’s lab worked to identify and clone more than 100 different antibodies used in the research.
