The ability of The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital to rapidly provide support for scientific research to understand the biology of this infection, and to speed the development of countermeasures—testing, treatments and vaccines—was critical in accelerating research in our laboratories and for our patients. William G. Powderly, the Dr. J. William Campbell Professor of Medicine, co-director, […]
Test is faster, simpler than nasal, oral swab tests and enables screening on a massive scale
This episode of ‘Show Me the Science’ looks at where the nation has come and where we may be headed as coronavirus infections and deaths continue to rise
Brain tumors are typically diagnosed using MRI imaging because taking a sample for a tissue biopsy is risky and may not be possible due to tumor location or a patient’s poor health conditions. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing a method to diagnose brain tumors without any incisions.
Washington University in St. Louis, the St. Louis County Department of Public Health and other collaborators are conducting a survey of St. Louis County residents and offering COVID-19 testing to gauge the prevalence of and risk factors for the illness.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to claim lives around the world, much research has focused on the immune system’s role in patients who become seriously ill. A popular theory has it that the immune system gets so revved up fighting the virus that, after several days, it produces a so-called cytokine storm that results in […]
As U.S. scientists ramp up a national effort to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine candidates at clinical trial sites across the country, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Saint Louis University Center for Vaccine Development have been tapped to join the historic effort to find a COVID-19 vaccine that can prevent […]
Researchers can submit potential antiviral molecules for screening Six months into the pandemic, people diagnosed with mild cases of COVID-19 still are told to isolate themselves and wait out the infection at home. Doctors monitor such patients so they can intervene if their condition deteriorates, but no antiviral drugs have been shown to hasten recovery […]
Such antibody tests use finger-prick blood samples, deliver quick results
