COVID-19 research at the Department of Immunology

Physicians and scientists of the Department of Immunology actively participate in the world-wide fight against COVID-19. We work together with top international partners to identify genetic factors predisposing otherwise healthy humans to severe course of the disease (for example as part of the consortium https://www.covidhge.com/), with biotech companies to map the development of immune response to the virus (e.g. as part of the initiative https://www.exbio.cz/about-exbio/covid-19) and received funding support as part of the Modern therapies program from the University Hospital in Motol for the project "Innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection".
