CU Medicine Brochure

Bacteria and viruses have been with the human race for as long as we existed. When they become unbalanced and unchecked diseases may result and harm be done, and we have to fight against them. In the face of COVID-19, those at CUMED have shown exemplary ingenuity and solidarity. We analysed and tested the virus, advised the government and the public on the science and strategy of the pandemic, while pursuing our educational missions nonetheless. The stories of our efforts retold in this inauguration issue of CU Medicine are as relevant as they are inspiring. I hope you enjoy reading them, give us your feedback and follow us in future issues. Like it or not, the COVID-19 threat is real and continuing. We must not let our guards down or lose our poise. Let’s work together, friends and colleagues, to fight it out, shall we? Shall we…?
