Research to advance Long COVID care awarded $1M
Professor Gras was successful in securing funding from the Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) for ‘CRISP: Consumer-led Research Initiative on food and drink Sensitivity in PASC’.
The CRISP project aims to identify novel biological markers of disease, which will support the development of diagnostic biosensors and contribute to improved clinical understanding and management of Long COVID.
Professor Gras said “Long COVID is a complex condition that can significantly affect quality of life, yet many people still struggle to receive clear diagnoses or effective treatment.” More details here.
COVID-19 Risk Calculator
Led by Professor Kirsty Short at The University of Queensland, the team developed COVID-19 Risk Calculator has been updated to determine a person’s risk of developing long COVID.
Developed in conjunction with scientists, clinicians and researchers from Flinders University, Queensland University of Technology, the University of Sydney and the Immunisation Coalition, the online calculator provides a personalised risk assessment of developing Long COVID 6 months after infection.
