Abstract

The Murdoch Children's Research Institute will use human-derived stem cells to better understand the virus's effects on different organ systems in the body, including the lung, heart, kidneys, brain, immune system and blood vessels, to support the development of targeted treatments. The multi-agency study will include partners from the Doherty Institute, Monash University, and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.
