A better understanding of COVID is urgently needed in order to improve the management of long-term disease risks after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection at the individual and global healthcare level. More than 1 in 5 adult COVID survivors may develop long-term impairment, thus millions of patients suffer from PACS, also commonly known as Long COVID.
PACS involves damage to a variety of organ systems (e.g. lungs, heart, kidneys, pancreas), along with mental health impairment. There is an emerging consensus in recent publications that an individual’s NMR* metabolomic signature delivers reliable insight into PACS. Thereby NMR* enables the study of SARS-CoV-2 triggered metabolic phenoconversion, defined as transient or persistent systemic change of the molecular signature in human blood after acute infection. Subsequent Phenoreversion, indicated by normalization of the metabolic signature, can be detected by NMR* and may mark PACS recovery.
The newly launched NMR*-based Bruker’s PhenoRisk PACS™ multi-organ risk screen enables in-depth monitoring of PACS in order to detect secondary disease as early as possible.
Watch this webinar to learn about the metabolic changes during COVID-19 disease, how these can accurately tracked and how NMR* can improve the clinical understanding of Long-COVID.
Speakers
Anne has received her medical degree from the University of Mainz / Germany in 1989 and holds a doctoral degree in Human Genetics. She worked at the Division of Haemato-Oncology at the University Mainz responsible for patient care, a diagnostic core facility laboratory and a stem cell transplantation service. Then Anne joined the Medical Diagnostics Industry holding various management positions at Beckman Coulter, Philips Medical and Curetis as Marketing and Medical Affairs Executive. Anne joined Bruker in 2021 supporting product marketing and clinical affairs.
