As BU scrambled to build a COVID-19 testing lab from the ground up last spring, its scientific director, Catherine Klapperich, tapped trusted help for an endeavor fraught with unknown safety risk: her former student and current colleague Lena Landaverde (ENG’13,’17), assistant director of the College of Engineering’s Precision Diagnostics Center.
“Since May 2020, Lena has been my equal partner” in the Charles River Campus Clinical Testing Laboratory, wrote Klapperich, an ENG professor and vice chair of biomedical engineering. “She is my hands in the lab and on the ground while I work largely virtually. She took personal risks to be in the lab [last] spring when we did not know how dangerous working with or near SARS-CoV-2 might be. Her courage, tenacity, creativity, and intellectual quickness and flexibility match or exceed anyone I have worked with at BU in 18 years.”
