As the number of new cases of COVID-19 begin to increase again in our area and as schools face the challenge of how to safely remain open, a new research study could detect when clusters of COVID-19 are on the rise again throughout the fall and winter in the greater Boston area. Clinicians and researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the MGB Center for COVID Innovation are launching TestBoston, a large-scale research study to detect active COVID-19 cases and evidence of previous infection, as well as changes in the rates of both, in a representative group of 10,000 Brigham patients reflecting the demographics of greater Boston.
This program will be led by Ann Woolley and Lisa Cosimi, both infectious disease physicians at the Brigham, and Deborah Hung, a core faculty member and co-director of the Infectious Disease and Microbiome Program of the Broad Institute as well as an infectious disease and critical care physician at the Brigham.
