A large group of clinical and basic scientists at Upstate is engaged in several activities related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include efforts to: • Improve testing related to negative or inconclusive results. • Precisely quantify the viral levels in patients as their disease progresses. • Improve the care and therapies for COVID-19 patients. • Determine factors that influence resistance to the disease or recovery.

• Identify social, biological and ecological factors that affect the rates of the disease in Central New York. This summer, a lab at Upstate will become operational that will allow additional research to be safely conducted on COVID-19.
