Episode 51: Akiko Iwasaki – Immunobiologist

Akiko Iwasaki, a Professor of Immunobiology and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University, with a particular interest in mucosal infection, is making gains in Long Covid research. Her work with Dr David Putrino (interviewed in Episode 47) revealed several findings that move us closer to identifying a bio-marker; her work with Michele Monje of Stanford University looked at the chief mechanisms that may be driving the neurological features of Long Covid; now, in collaboration with Harlan Krumholz, they are leading a study into the efficacy and safety of Paxlovid in Long Covid.

And her Yale LISTEN study to understand Long Covid, post-vaccine adverse events and the corresponding immune responses is recruiting now.

Distilling some of her remarkable knowledge into a very digestible form, you do not want to miss this episode.

Living with Long Covid? How was your week?
