The stunning #longcovid study of Rob Wüst and Brent Appelman is now published in @NatComms. Clear aberrancies in mitochondrial function, and focal necrosis after exercise. Very important work: nature.com/articles/s4146…

There is still no reliable diagnostic tool for #LongCovid . Based on unique autoantibodies that we found in patients, we envisaged we could make such an objective diagnostic tool. We are thrilled that because of ZonMw we now have the means to do so! Hung-Jen Chen (Oliver), MD. PhD. NerD. Amsterdam UMC

WORK!!!
At Center for Translational Immunology we offer a PhD position to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and help building a Dutch pediatric ME/CFS cohort.

We’re hiring! We will expand our research from #LongCovid to #MECFS . Would you like to do a PhD in Immunology/Infectious Diseases to figure out the biomedical cause of this disease? Then check out our vacancy Amsterdam UMC Institute for Immunology and infectious Diseases ZonMw: werkenbij.amsterdamumc.org/en/vacatures/r…

To find new drugs to treat severely ill #COVID19 patients, researchers from the Amsterdam UMC set up an in vitro screening assay, which identified promising candidates Jeroen den Dunnen life-science-alliance.org/content/6/11/e…

Severe #COVID19 is induced by pathogenic anti-Spike antibodies inducing hyper-inflammation, endotheliopathy, and thrombosis. Chiara Geyer & Hung-Jen Chen (Oliver), MD. PhD. NerD. set up human in vitro models of this to screen for candidate drugs. Best one: endospletinib. LifeScienceAlliance doi.org/10.26508/lsa.2…

Great to see a dedicated #LongCovid conference in Europe (Madrid, Spain). Presenters include Resia Pretorius, Brent Appelman, and Annemarie Wensing. Our lab's work will be presented by Hung-Jen Chen (Oliver), MD. PhD. NerD.. academicmedicaleducation.com/meeting/demyst…
