Rajnarayanan Quoted in COVID-19 Coverage

Rajendram Rajnarayanan, Ph.D., assistant dean of research and associate professor at NYITCOM-Arkansas, was quoted in several COVID-19 articles in September. As seen in Verywell Health, Fortune, and other outlets, Rajnarayanan, who maintains a coronavirus variant tracker, shared insight on the latest COVID-19 variant to emerge, the highly mutated BA.2.86. He told Verywell Health, “Even with a lot of mutations, there are a lot of spots in the virus that can be recognized by our immune system, and there are many shared mutations as well. There will be some protection from the new vaccine booster, as well as prior infections.”

In a Fortune article published later in the month, he discussed common user errors with at-home testing kits. Similar coverage appeared in Yahoo News and MSN.com.
