This research area aims at creating capabilities for discovery and validation of diagnostic, predictive, prognostic and therapeutic biomarkers. In addition, building capabilities for systems immunology and systems virologi of COVID-19 infected patients, as well as concepts towards individualized monitoring and targeting of cytokine storms are also part of the aim.
This area consists of 6 individual projects, funded a total of 6,6 MSEK. Led by researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institutet, University of Gothenburg, Lund University and Linköping University.
Coordinator: David Gotthold, KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Scientific lead: Jacob Odeberg, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Petter Brodin, Karolinska Institutet
