Differences in how the nasal cells of young and elderly people respond to the SARS-CoV-2 virus could explain why children typically experience milder #COVID19 symptoms, finds a new study led by Dr Claire Smith & Marko Nikolić UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health DoM_UCL ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/apr/…

The marked differences in response to #SARSCoV2 infection by age may, at least in part, be explained by age-specific changes in our nasal epithelial cells nature.com/articles/s4156… Nature Microbiology Dr Claire Smith Marko Nikolić UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health

Love this! Using time series as #SARSCOV2 exposure as “Rosetta stone” for deciphering dynamic epithelial & immune cell responses associated with protection against infection. kudos Rik Lindeboom Teichlab Kaylee Worlock Marko Nikolić & superteam!! nature.com/articles/s4158…

High levels of a key gene in volunteers who managed to fight off infection quickly suggests it has a protective effect against SARS-CoV-2, finds a new study involving Marko Nikolić & Kaylee Worlock DoM_UCL UCL Faculty of Medical Sciences with Wellcome Sanger Institute ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jun/…

How do immune and epithelial cells interact with each other in development, homeostasis and disease? Check out our review 👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Well done to Rominaarzili and Masahiro Yoshida 👏

Huge congratulations to our RTI 2025 Rising Stars! Here are our two deserving winners - Kaylee Worlock and Helen Gavillet. Very well done to you both. #RTI2025 #RespiratoryResearch #MedicalConference

Go Kaylee!

Delighted to continue my research at UCL as Professor of Respiratory Medicine. Thank you so much for all my amazing current and past group members, and the many mentors who helped me to get to this point! Medical Research Council Wellcome Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Rosetrees Trust
