Researchers at the Institute for Systems Biology have developed a powerful new platform that can identify and deeply profile antigen-specific CD4+ T cells at unprecedented scale and resolution. Published in Nature Communications, the work could help accelerate vaccine design, improve immune monitoring, and advance next-generation cancer immunotherapies.
ISB researchers reveal a darker side of targeted therapy: the same oncogene inhibition that shuts down cancer growth program can also ignite a stress-driven identity switch — revealing an early escape route that may shape the future of cancer treatment
Whitney Gibb used to move through life at full speed. After COVID, brain fog, fatigue, and memory loss reshaped her daily life — offering a powerful window into the realities of Long COVID and the research now working to understand it.
At a recent virtual town hall, leaders of the Pacific Northwest RECOVER hub shared what they’ve learned so far about long COVID — from symptom trajectories and genetic risk to early trial results and upcoming studies — and answered questions from participants about risk factors, persistent symptoms and what comes next.
Researchers from the NIH-funded RECOVER study shared new insights on the risks of Long COVID, autoimmune links, and upcoming clinical trials during ISB’s July Town Hall.
Scientists at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) reveal how T cells “decide” their fate in fighting infections like COVID-19, paving the way for improved treatments for infections, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
ISB hosted a virtual event to share updates on the ongoing RECOVER study, a national NIH-funded initiative to understand and address Long COVID.
As part of a massive nationwide effort, ISB is leading a multi-site consortium for the NIH RECOVER (Researching COVID to Enhance Recovery) Initiative. The Pacific Northwest consortium is made up of ISB, Providence, Swedish, and University of Washington School of Medicine.
