HUG-CELL in the Media

A lucky few seem 'resistant' to Covid-19. Scientists want to know why

In a paper accepted for publication in Nature Immunology, researchers from HUG-CELL and colleagues with the COVID Human Genetic Effort propose several potential sites in the genome that could govern resistance to SARS-CoV-2

Cell-mediated immunity is essential to prevent reinfection by the novel coronavirus, study suggests

HUG-CELL researchers studied the case of identical twins in which only one sibling was reinfected and developed complications after a second exposure to the virus


Research and Innovation

Identification of genes and molecular mechanisms of genetic and infectious diseases

Animal models and stem cells from individuals with genetic diseases are used to understand how mutations lead to the development of clinical condition

Genomes of Brazilian populations

HUG-CELL is engaged in lines of research on this topic, including the largest public database of variants and allelic frequencies

Models for therapies for genetic diseases and regenerative medicine

Cellular and animal models have been used in pre-clinical studies to develop new therapies for genetic diseases
