Exploring the use of nano and quantum sensors for wastewater-based epidemiology
Many of our i-sense team members have received awards or fellowships over the past year - let’s take a closer look at a few of our award updates.
An observational study of patients at UCLH and North Middlesex University Hospital, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, suggests that the B.1.1.7 variant of COVID-19 – sometimes known as the UK or Kent variant – is not associated with more severe illness and death, but appears to lead to higher virus load.
UCL has launched Virus Watch, inviting 50,000 households to take part in one of the largest and most comprehensive studies of COVID-19 in the UK.
The study, which will require participants to complete regular online symptom surveys, seeks to better understand community spread of the virus.
