Scientists want to determine if the patient's genetics has a key role in disease severity

14/02/2021

At the Northern Ireland Centre for Stratified Medicine based in Ulster University (in C-TRIC, on the Altnagelvin Hospital site), we have recruited 260 participants from the Western Health and Social Care Trust area onto the COVRES Study with your support 👏.

Help us reach our target of 500!

The COVRES study is looking at the association between genes and the severity of COVID-19 in the Northern Ireland population.

We would particularly like to hear from you if you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the past month and are outside of your isolation period or ever hospitalised in the past with COVID-19.
