COVID’s onset created an urgent demand for clinical samples. In response, Ragon Institute Core Member Xu Yu and Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) Infectious Disease Faculty Member Jonathan Li developed a new COVID-19 clinical repository, paving the way for significant scientific progress against the pandemic.
Antibodies elicited by a first vaccination in HIV and SARS-CoV mouse models shape the antibody response to later vaccination.

May 26 was a sad but exciting day for the Ragon as the Clinical Team said goodbye to four of its team members, who are moving on to their next stages of training.
This marks the final week of this year's PRISM.
The PRISM Science Club provides opportunities for high school students from underrepresented communities in the Greater Boston area to learn about cutting-edge medical science and careers in STEM.
