CHICAGO – Weill Cornell Medicine has received a two-year, $1.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study ethnic, social, and biological factors — including a heavy dose of genomics — that might predict severity and outcomes of big-city patients with COVID-19. The New York City academic medical center will seek to uncover the role of genetics and social determinants of health in disparities in COVID-19 progression and mortality.
