Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

An infectious disease specialist at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, Dr. Bindu Balani treated the state's first confirmed COVID-19 patient in March 2020. In this episode, Bindu shares her experiences on the front line of the battle to identify, treat, and stem the subsequent surge of COVID-19 cases. From this unique vantage point, we learn how all units of the hospital mobilized and adapted to protect and serve the patients in their care. A new virtual interview series from LabXchange at Harvard University, the Xchange showcases the diverse roles, projects, and initiatives that make up the intersecting fields of science, education, and health. Hosted by LabXchange Faculty Director Robert Lue, our first season features a range of perspectives on the impact of COVID-19.
