PNNL Scientists Honored for Their Role in Fight Against EbolaĪmong the honorees are a PNNL team which drew on the lab’s strengths in fundamental biology, infectious disease, data analytics, emergency response, epidemiology and systems engineering during a critical time after the World Health Organization had declared an EVD international health emergency. PNNL scientists have shown that they can detect SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, in the air by using a nanotechnology-packed bubble that spills its chemical contents like a broken piñata when encountering the virus. RECENT NEWS These Nanotech Bubbles Burst When They Detect Viruses in the Air PNNL has approximately 4,300 employees and had a FY14 business volume of $1.02 billion.Įditor’s Picks: Articles and resources related to PNNL. The Nonproliferation Systems Integration (WMD) division deals with international and domestic security, safeguards and nonproliferation issues.
