Rockefeller-Led Team Launches Initiative to Study COVID-19 Genetic Vulnerability

Mar 26, 2020
|
staff reporter

NEW YORK – An international team of researchers led by a group at Rockefeller University has launched a project to determine if inborn errors of immunity (IEI) can cause life-threatening COVID-19 in previously healthy younger patients.

The group believes that the project will identify genetic pathways involved in COVID-19 development in patients that get severely ill and lead to new preventative and therapeutic strategies.

The Scan

Keep It (Partly) Virtual

A survey by Nature finds that most researchers want scientific meetings to continue virtually or with a virtual component, even after the pandemic ends.

For Cross-Protection

Bloomberg reports that the B.1.351 SARS-CoV-2 viral variant could prompt the formulation of better vaccines.

Proteomics of Severity

Certain blood proteins may be able to distinguish COVID-19 patients who will become critically ill from those who will not, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
