Ali on the Run Show Episode 243: On the Job with Amy Diallo, Covid-19 Researcher

“We just wish that science was faster sometimes!”

Amy Diallo always knew she wanted to be a scientist. Growing up in France, her plan was always to move to the United States and study infectious diseases. And perhaps never has Amy’s career as a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, San Francisco, been more relevant than today, as she’s spending long hours in the lab doing Covid-19 research. Every day, Amy and her team are hard at work studying proteins to eventually develop medication that will treat the novel coronavirus. On this episode, she talks about why she wanted to work in infectious diseases, what it’s like being an essential worker right now, and what it’s really like being a scientist in the cutthroat biochemistry lab world. She talks about the pressure to work fast, what she wants everyone to know about where we’re at right now with this pandemic, and how running fits into her busy life.
