LABOX/UFSC and Universidad de Chile develop a research project on COVID-19

23/02/2021 07:37

The Laboratory of Bioenergetics and Oxidative Stress (LABOX / UFSC) coordinated by Profa. Dr. Alexandra Latini and the Clinical team coordinated by Prof. Dr. Ramiro Zepeda of the University of Chile recently approved a research project that seeks to improve the understanding of the progression and sequels of the COVID-19 viral infection (ANID – Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo – approximately $ 100,000.00).

The project entitled “Metabolic markers of severity prognosis in patients affected by COVID-19” aims to validate a profile of clinical and biochemical markers based on metabolic function as a quantifiable tool in the course of the disease. We believe that this knowledge will help to reduce the mortality rate associated with COVID-19 and optimize the resources of the public health system. The project involves Graduate students from the Graduate Programs in Biochemistry and Medical Sciences.

At the moment, Ph.D. candidate JENNYFFER SOUZA from the Graduate Program in Biochemistry UFSC is developing the project in the Hospital de Rancagua, Rancagua, Chile. Learn more about the survey at the link below:
