In the latest episode of The Genetics Podcast, Patrick Short, CEO of Sano Genetics, interviews Dr Andrea Hanna, a researcher leading COVID19HG.
COVID19HG is a worldwide effort to understand the role genetics plays in COVID-19 infection and severity. The mission is to bring together the human genetics community to generate, share and analyse data, to learn the genetic determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility, severity and outcomes. The discoveries from the project can be used to help generate hypotheses for drug repurposing, identify individuals’ risk and contribute to the global knowledge of SARS-CoV-2.
In this episode, Patrick and Andrea discuss some of the group’s findings so far and the origins of the initiative, which has now got hundreds of researchers from over fifty countries contributing.
