The unfolding of the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that disease severity does not always correlate with age, preexisting medical conditions, or other clinical features. While some individuals can be infected with SARS-CoV-2 with few or no symptoms, others become severely ill with the disease.
This panel discussion will explore a variety of ongoing research projects and approaches that aim to discover genetic and other biomarkers to help predict who is at risk of developing severe COVID-19.
Our expert panelists will discuss how they are approaching this research challenge as well as the longer-term goals of their work. The discussion will address the opportunities and challenges of implementing their findings into clinical care, particularly within the context of other predictors of disease severity. The roundtable discussion will be followed by a live question-and-answer session with attendees.
