Abstract

The objective is to identify tests that can identify early in COVID19 infection which patients are at risk of worsening and needing intensive care treatment. We will look in the white blood cells of COVID19 patients and used advanced proteomic technology to find new diagnostic tools. The work will also identify new drug targets for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
