Abstract
The group of researchers will investigate how our lungs' own immune system reacts to COVID-19. The virus can cause severe inflammation of the lungs with subsequent pulmonary damage. However, because this virus is new, we as yet know very little about its impact on the lungs. The researchers will extract fluid from the lungs of severely ill patients in ICUs, and will characterise immune cells and neurotransmitters.
