New collaborative research projects with BRCCH
The Botnar Research Centre for Child Health (BRCCH) is announcing a new joint initiative with the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) to support multi-institutional, multi-country collaborations for research on SARS-CoV-2 infection. The COVID-19 antibody repertoires' project is led by Andreas Moor together with Julie Fox from King's College London.
The project "COVID-19 Antibody Repertoires in Infection and Vaccination" co-led by Prof Andreas Moor (ETH Zurich, BRCCH grantee for a B-Cell Immunity project) and Dr Julie Fox (King’s College London, EDCTP grantee for the COVAB project) aims to investigate B cell-mediated immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection in different health states. Specifically, the consortium will investigate and compare the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the antibody repertoire in patients who contract the virus through natural means, in COVID-19 patients who also suffer from HIV and in vaccinated individuals. This consortium involves four researchers from institutions in the UK and Switzerland (in addition to the two named above, the University Hospital Basel).
