The Scientist - USA (2021-12)

The immune system protects humans against a litany of internal and external threats. However, the immune

system can also go awry, resulting in chronic infl ammation or autoimmune disorders that weaken host

defenses and deleteriously exacerbate co-morbidities. In this multisponsored webinar brought to you by

The Scientist, Klaus Ley and Neeloff er Mookherjee will explore the relationships between infl ammation,

autoimmunity, and pathology, and how researchers can harness these relationships for therapeutic purposes.

A Double-Edged Sword: When the Immune System Turns

Against Us

In a growing number of people who contract COVID-19, symptoms persist long after the initial SARS-CoV-2

infection subsides. COVID-19 and long COVID patients display a variety of symptoms that reveal SARS-

CoV-2’s versatility and its long-lasting impact on organ function. While this heterogeneity makes it diffi cult

to study the disease, scientists are applying every available technology to investigate the virus’ pathological

mechanisms. In this webinar brought to you by Cayman Chemical, Floyd Chilton and Thomas Bumol will

discuss how they combine metabolomics, transcriptomics, and immune profi ling to study SARS-CoV-2’s

ability to attack multiple organs, even after the virus has been cleared from the body.
