Abstract

Researchers will collect samples from COVID-19 patients and perform a single-cell proteogenomics study to gain a better understanding of virus-host interactions and potential immunotherapy targets to treat COVID-19 patients. Scientists will work to identify surface markers of the pathogenic immune cells and map the intracellular signaling circuits that drive the cytokine storm in COVID-19 patients.
