University of Utah biomedical engineering assistant professor Jessica Kramer has learned that mucins, a protein in human mucus, acts as a barrier that prevents viruses like Covid-19 from spreading through contaminated surfaces. Her research reveals why the coronavirus largely does not spread by touching surfaces like countertops or objects.
