Abstract

The immune system is a finely balanced process that builds our defence against diseases. Even low-level dysregulations of the immune system, such as those thought to drive long COVID, can cause severe suffering. This project develops a digital nanotechnology capable of detecting trace immune dysregulation from a pin-prick of blood. This will lead to a better understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of long COVID and the development of personalised vaccines with greatly reduced side effects.
