Tell @ChrisCuomo that 33 scientists from 14 institutions joined forces to write this paper documenting evidence for #SARS-CoV-2 persistence as a potential driver of #LongCOVID. We call for more clinical trials of drugs capable of clearing persistent virus: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37667052/
I’m slated to appear on the Cuomo show this Friday (8pm ET on News Nation), to talk about my book The Long Haul, and what we need to do to truly address Long Covid. As I’m prepping, I’d love to hear what’s on your my mind! What’s most important in new research/policy/moonshots?
Identification of soluble biomarkers that associate with distinct manifestations of long COVID @NatImmunol @marcus_buggert @sarahadamo nature.com/articles/s4159… nature.com/articles/s4159…
Happy to share our latest findings out today in @SciImmunology on tissue site adaptation of resident human mucosal-associated invariant T (#MAIT) cells science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @karolinskainst @CIM_Sweden #immunology
Happy to share new work from us on persisting impairment of #MAIT cells in people recovering after very severe #COVID19. These results suggest weakened antimicrobial #immunity in this patient group. journals.aai.org/jimmunol/artic… @karolinskainst @CIM_Sweden @J_Immunol
Vaccination after a #SARSCoV2 infection does not lead to CD4+ or CD8+ T cell dysfunction, suggests a new study from @marcus_buggert involving patient samples. @karolinskainst Learn more: scim.ag/57t

Fantastic day yesterday with friends and colleagues at the Jahre Prize ceremony.

POV: Telling your parents you just won the @NobelPrize... @WeissmanLab
Absolutely well-deserved Nobel Prize! As a former postdoc at @Penn, I'm truly amazed to have worked on these concepts with so many fantastic colleagues in the past and present.
BREAKING NEWS The 2023 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
I'm excited to see our work on immune responses during SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection out in @NatImmunol! The results highlight the broad benefits of vaccination and especially the role of memory T cells in the critical early stages of the infection. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Fascinating discovery by @Annaglobig! Exhausted CD8 T cells talk to sympathetic nerves in tissues & tumors. Tex cells express ADRB1 and localize near sympathetic nerves, listening to stress hormone noradrenaline. This promotes their dysfunction. nature.com/articles/s4158…
Thanks @Anto_Berto for visiting Karolinska Institutet and delivering a brilliant distinguished lecture! I hope to see you here in Stockholm again in the foreseeable future.

Excited to be a part of this position paper on SARS-CoV-2 persistence in long COVID (PASC) alongside the amazing @microbeminded2 and other leading researchers in the field.
I am excited to share our new position paper on #SARS-CoV-2 reservoir (viral persistence) in Long COVID or post-acute sequelae of COVID (PASC): nature.com/articles/s4159…
Massive opportunity alert! Start your new independent lab in any area of experimental or computational biomedicine, in our department at @karolinskainst. We offer a 1.1 M€ ($1.2M) startup package, amazing colleagues and a beautiful lab environment. ki.varbi.com/en/what:job/jo…
Nice pre-print on ‘Immune Correlates of Viral Control following SARS-CoV-2 Infection Challenge in Seronegative Adults’. Particularly CD8+ T cells, but also IgA and IgM responses, strongly correlate with accelerated viral clearance. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
