Abstract

Molecular changes after SARS-CoV-2 infection in human cells are being investigated by a project by the Institute for Biochemistry II in collaboration with the Institute for Medical Virology at the University Hospital Frankfurt. The scientists also want to understand why some COVID-19 patients experience severe kidney damage. This research question is being investigated in collaboration with the Nephrology Department of Medical Clinic III at the University Hospital Frankfurt and the Institute for Virology at the University of Marburg. The Goethe Corona Fund supports the projects with human and material resources. "Time is always important, and especially at the moment. We don't have the time to invest three years in a project - and one year in funding. Now it has to be done quickly. So it is fantastic that this Goethe Corona Fund exists. It's great that we live in Frankfurt and that there is so much support here that makes our research possible. "
