Researchers from the ̽��ֱ�� of Cambridge have been recognised in the 2021 New Year Honours, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to society.

̽��ֱ��drug remdesivir is likely to be a highly effective antiviral against SARS-CoV-2, according to a new study by a team of UK scientists. Writing in Nature Communications, the researchers describe giving the drug to a patient with COVID-19 and a rare immune disorder, and observing a dramatic improvement in his symptoms and the disappearance of the virus.

̽��ֱ��brain is uniquely protected against invading bacteria and viruses, but its defence mechanism has long remained a mystery. Now, a study in mice, confirmed in human samples, has shown that the brain has a surprising ally in its protection: the gut.

In late 2019, a new institute opened on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. Its timing could not have been better - as the COVID-19 pandemic sent Britain into lockdown several months later, the institute found itself at the heart of the ̽��ֱ��’s response to this unprecedented challenge.

Professor Ravi Gupta has been named today as one of , in recognition of his work to bring about the second-ever cure of a patient with HIV.

Vaccine expert Professor Gordon Dougan looks at the challenges of developing and delivering a vaccine against COVID-19.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) failure and drug resistance are extremely common in patients living with HIV who are admitted to hospital in Malawi, according to new research published in Lancet HIV.

A Cambridge hospital has piloted the use of combined rapid point-of-care nucleic acid and antibody testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection after researchers at the ̽��ֱ�� of Cambridge showed that this approach was superior to virus detection alone for diagnosing COVID-19 disease.

Genes that play an important role in allowing SARS-CoV-2 to invade heart cells become more active with age, according to research published today in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology.��

“In many parts of the world people still live with the daily threat of diseases like cholera, typhoid, and malaria. In reality COVID is just another infection,” says Professor Gordon Dougan.
