New UC San Francisco #LIINC paper: immune activation & viral persistence in tissue up to 2 years post-COVID. Found double-stranded RNA in #LongCOVID, suggesting active reservoir persists and evades immune clearance. Thanks PolyBio, NIH for support.

Today, we are thrilled to see the introduction of The Long COVID Research Moonshot Act by Senator Bernie Sanders (Bernie Sanders), co-sponsored by Senators Senator Tim Kaine, Tammy Duckworth, Ed Markey, Senator Peter Welch, and Tina Smith! sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/upl… #LongCovid 1/

Our new UC San Francisco #FindCOVID/#LIINC paper in Nature Communications showing SCV2 burden in first 3 weeks of COVID predicts future #LongCovid. In addition to LC treatment trials, we need investment in studies to prevent LC! Zero US-based trials on prevention so far. nature.com/articles/s4146…



Excellent commentary from Patient-Led Research Collaborative in Cell outlining priorities for #LongCOVID research. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Excited to be visiting Prof. Akiko Iwasaki at the 2nd Yale Center for Infection and Immunity symposium today to talk about #LongCovid - Where we are, where we need to go, and how we can get there.


Long Covid Research 💰💰 In our Nature Index piece, Michael Peluso, MD & I expound on different funding avenues for #brainfog…and the dire need for science + answers. Thx to Bec Crew is not here for her wisdom & insight as editor. Read here: go.nature.com/3NgBcC4


New Clinical Microbiology and Infection study showing association between post-acute SARS-CoV-2 protein in blood and #LongCOVID. Data from 4 cohorts, including #NIHRECOVER and UC San Francisco #LIINC. Need more research ASAP to see if useful as a biomarker for trials!


Excited to share this Science Translational Medicine viewpoint with Maureen Hanson on why #LongCOVID #MECFS and other infection-associated chronic conditions should be studied together as part of a coordinated research agenda. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…


New UC San Francisco #LIINC paper shows low mature/cytotoxic NK cells in #LongCovid compared to full recovery. Could reflect inability to clear infection. More interesting data showing immunologic differences in #LongCovid. Thanks to PolyBio NIH for funding. jci.org/articles/view/…
