The highly contagious Delta variant of COVID-19 has been detected in New Jersey, and one lab is doing its part to stay ahead of the curve and help patients.

Working within inches of infectious samples, scientists at a lab in Nutley have been peering into the pandemic in a way most of us can’t even fathom.
