14% of COVID infections result in Long COVID. The virus can be found in the body and brain for more than 200 days after the initial infection, making Long COVID a seriously unmet chronic disease....

Research Focus Areas
Repurposing Existing Antivirals and Antibodies

Repurposing Existing Antivirals and Antibodies

Focusing on quickly testing and repurposing existing FDA-approved drugs, as well as Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies (bNAbs) to target persistent viral reservoirs in Long COVID patients.


Developing Long-Acting Antibody (LAAb) Therapies

Developing Long-Acting Antibody (LAAb) Therapies

Exploring research and trials for Long-Acting Antibody treatments that could prevent reinfection and manage viral persistence. These therapies could be integrated with COVID vaccines for dual protection.


Open Therapeutics Platform for Breakthrough Discoveries

Open Therapeutics Platform for Breakthrough Discoveries

Building an open platform for decentralized scientific collaboration to identify and test experimental, high-risk, high-reward therapies. This includes funding innovative ideas from researchers worldwide, enabled by DAO governance and resource sharing.
