A $1 million grant from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation will launch a UC San Diego-led national effort to more deeply study tissue samples from patients with conditions ranging from long COVID-19 and relapsed Lyme disease to chronic fatigue syndrome
(...)
Dubbed the “Tissue Analysis Pipeline,” researchers hope the findings could lead to improved tissue-based diagnostics for patients. The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation is the largest private funder of Lyme and tick-borne disease research, which includes more than $88 million in grants.
(...)
The Tissue Analysis Pipeline will be directed by scientists at UC San Diego and the J. Craig Venter Institute, with members from other institutions, including the Joint Genome Institute at Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory, the PolyBio Research Foundation, the Hormel Institute at University of Minnesota, Harvard Medical School and Mount Sinai South Nassau (NY).
Pipeline participants will collect tissue samples from clinicians and researchers working with patients afflicted with infection-associated chronic diseases, specifically Lyme, COVID, ME/CFS and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, an group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues, such as skin, joints and blood vessel walls, and can leave patients more vulnerable to chronic infections.
