Microbiologist at @polybioRF: studying how persistent pathogens drive inflammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction & cognitive decline #longcovid #lyme #alzheimers
It was great to do this podcast. Persistent #viruses - and many bacteria, fungi and even parasite pathogens - directly hijack our #mitochondria. They can hack and distort human gene signaling that controls senescence & inflammaging. This knowledge is huge for longevity treatments

Was great to be a guest on Resiliency Radio! I discuss how environmental exposures (e.g. mold) may impair how people manage chronic infections. And how cleaning indoor air via HEPA filtration/far UVC is an incredible solution to mitigate such issues! open.spotify.com/episode/0j26cE…
So glad to join this SPEAR Study Group! LongCOVID & Post Vaccine Syndrome patients have waited way too long for expanded research on how #monoclonal antibodies - including those with broadly neutralizing activity - may improve their symptoms. We intend to change that!
BREAKING: Anecdotes are wonderful - let’s go get the data! Invivyd & leading researchers launch SPEAR Study Group to explore effects of mAb therapy on people suffering from Long COVID & post-vaccination syndrome. investors.adagiotx.com/news-releases/… @UCSF @polybioRF @michaelpelusoMD…
If you are healthy and can participate in this study it’s a major commitment. But the findings cld shed true light on drivers of #LongCOVID. Sample analysis will be done by Dan Chertow at NIH who led this incredible SARS-COV-2 persistence autopsy study: nature.com/articles/s4158…
1/ Have a loved one with Long Covid? Join the NIH's study on SARS-CoV-2 RNA & protein persistence! The NIH is seeking 6 healthy controls within the US for a series of tissue studies on Long Covid. 👉🏻Email [email protected] if you are interested!
