Coronavirus researcher

The first sentence calls him a coronavirus researcher, but based on his previous publications, he seemed to be more focused on general biophysics of molecular pathways. While he may have started working on coronavirus, this is not exactly notable considering that probably a third of biologists have been working on coronavirus in the past few months. It may be misleading to call him a coronavirus researcher as though that was his specialty.

This is especially pertinent considering that the mischaracterization seems to me to be purposely lending itself to conspiracy theories.
