As part of a massive nationwide effort to understand the condition commonly known as long COVID, Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) is leading a multi-site Pacific Northwest consortium – http://www.pnwrecover.org/ – as part of the NIH-funded RECOVER initiative. RECOVER, which stands for REsearching COVID to Enhance Recovery, is a large-scale research effort designed to ask why some people have prolonged symptoms following COVID-19, and to get real answers to help alleviate suffering as fast as possible.“ISB is honored to work with our scientific and clinical peers to better understand why so many individuals experience chronic conditions following SARS-CoV-2 infection,” said ISB President Dr. Jim Heath, the principal investigator of the Northwest consortium. “This is something we have been studying and making some headway on over the past year, and we are very grateful to those individuals who are participating in our studies by giving both their time and blood.”
