Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
This exceptional award is being made in recognition that key Centre staff have been redeployed from their usual work, and Centre resources utilised, to contribute to the first phase of a rapid research response to the COVID-19 outbreak first reported on 31 December 2019. This crisis response is critical to generate evidence that will contribute to the understanding, diagnosis, prevention and management of COVID-19. As of the 14/2/2020 there are 46,997 reported cases, and 1368 deaths, in China and 447 reported cases outside of China (in 24 countries). Currently the virus continues to predominantly affect China, where health systems and wider infrastructure are struggling to cope.

Speaking to host Roland Pease, Dr Wilson discusses his research investigating genetic mechanisms associated with susceptibility to Covid infection. His team has identified a molecule that detects SARS-COV-2 when it starts to replicate in our cells. However, not all humans have this protective mechanism, which may help explain why some people become very ill with Covid and others have little if any symptoms." |
