Episode 47: Dr David Putrino - The Putrino Lab

This week, we spoke to Mount Sinai neuroscientist and physical therapist Dr. David Putrino about his latest study on 215 patients.  A collaboration between Mount Sinai and Yale University in the U.S., Putrino worked with immunologist Akiko Iwasaki to see if they could find any ‘Distinguishing features of Long COVID identified through immune profiling’.  The study brought to light some potentially useful biomarkers and certainly highlighted areas for further research such as T-cells,  interleukins and hormone levels.  Putrino explains how this hypothesis-generating study is a jumping off point for his and other labs, puts into perspective the cortisol-level findings that media were quick to jump on, and urges two things - further research and listening to patients.

Living with Long Covid? How was your week?
