Lost your sense of smell or taste, think you’ve had #COVID19, but then had a negative antibody test - you may still have had Covid-19... medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Profiling women at Oxford Uni contributing great science to tackle the COVID pandemic. #1: Ane Ogbe -post doctoral scientist. Developing proliferation assays against SARS-CoV2 antigens-key to understanding T cell memory and cross-reactivity. Watch this space! University of Oxford

Lucky to be surrounded by many fantastic role models in Oxford, but especially inspired by, and grateful to, DPhil supervisor Philippa Matthews. Great initiative Ellie Barnes 🚵‍♀️!

Covid antibodies fall by half in less than 90 days, faster in younger adults and those without symptoms - results from longitudinal follow up of healthcare workers at OUH from Sheila Lumley ModMedMicro Nuffield Department of Medicine and lots of others - medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

What a team!!

The best prospective study on reinfection to date shows how rare it is within 6 months, highly influenced by baseline antibody response (>11,000 healthcare workers). Zero symptomatic w/ Ab. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… University of Oxford Sheila Lumley David Eyre reuters.com/article/us-hea…

Fantastic news! With 3 vaccines and many with post-infection immunity there’s lots to be optimistic about this month!

Just published NEJM: >12,500 healthcare workers had #SARSCoV2 serostatus (IgG to spike and N), followed for ~8 months. People w/ antibodies had substantially lower risk of reinfection nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Sheila Lumley David Eyre
