Professor Warren Tate's Research Programme for 2023 - 2024
(A) Understanding Long COVID
We have an ongoing relationship with Dr Anna Brooks, an immunologist at the University of Auckland who is evaluating the cellular immunology of Long COVID patients. With the growing group of New Zealand patients at the same stage of their illness, we will do longitudinal studies on individual patients to follow the course of their dysfunctional physiology.
(B) Susceptibility to adverse reaction to COVID vaccines in ME/CFS and Long COVID
During the vaccination campaign for COVID19 it became apparent a subgroup of NZ ME/CFS patients (1 in 4) had severe ongoing adverse reactions to the Pfizer vaccine. We wish to compare patients who had only mild short term reactions with those who had severe adverse reactions to determine if susceptibility factors can be identified in the affected group.
