> The construction of novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses able to infect human cells and lab animals at WIV (1) was published with acknowledgment to NIH grant AI110964 (https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...) and (2) was reported to NIH under NIH grant AI110964 (https://reporter.nih.gov/search/0dVX_GElSEGDOsNMZq7qaQ/proje...)
