In a major breakthrough in Long COVID research the University of Cambridge (UK) and the Australian National Phenome Center (ANPC) have been using Bruker’s 600 MHz Avance III HD NMR spectrometer (IVDr) to gain new insights into the risk and progression of Long COVID. Recently published research1 in Nature Immunology reveals distinct systemic recovery profiles over several months after infection with SARS-CoV-2. The paper also presents a new online predictive model that can determine the likelihood of individual patient disease courses and recovery.

Since the outset of the pandemic, we have conducted research into the effects of the virus to understand its impact. Working with our strategic partner, Bruker, we have previously investigated metabolic and lipidomic markers to predict phenotypic recovery, developing modeling tools to eludicate the molecular pathways associated with metabolic abnormalities.2 In this next stage of our research, we have built upon this bank of knowledge to initiate the development a predictive model based on cellular and molecular parameters that can rapidly provide a composite signature predictive of systemic recovery, measured soon after disease onset.
