ISB has won a 2025 AWS Imagine Grant to advance Tarpon, a generative AI platform that generates digital fingerprints of T cell receptors. By linking immune signatures to genomic and clinical data, Tarpon enables rapid discovery and the design of targeted therapies.
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.
ISB researchers and their collaborators looked at the electronic health records of nearly 630,000 patients who were tested for SARS-CoV-2, and found stark disparities in COVID-19 outcomes — odds of infection, hospitalization, and in-hospital mortality — between White and non-White minority racial and ethnic groups.
