Very proud to share this work, available on MedRxiv, which shows that plasma cytokine levels in COVID-19 are similar to those in ARDS and sepsis. Immunomodulators have not worked in ARDS, so need to be tested in rigorous RCTs for COVID before adoption. disq.us/t/3orvid1

Proud to work with Robert Harrington, and to commit to making academic medicine a place where ALL faculty, trainees, and patients know they are welcome. #BlackLivesMatter

Immensely proud of this work with the BlishLab, also highlighted in our ATS AII ATS G&G Section webinar on the immune response to COVID-19 in April. The immune response to COVID-19 in critical illness needs to be deeply understood to develop therapeutic targets.

Congratulations to Angela Rogers, who was named Stanford Health Care Physician of the Year!

I am deservedly mocked as THE WORST person on Twitter (since I tweeted 6 times in March 2020 and then disappeared into COVID for 1 year). But thank you to all of you for your congrats on the Stanford Health Care Physician of the Year award. It is an immense honor

Importance of the plasma #SARSCoV2 viral antigen (nucleocapsid) level as a predictor of acute adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients. Its persistence has also been correlated with #LongCovid in smaller series acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2… Annals of Int Med

Thrilled to share this work from ACTIV3/TICO and >2000 pts, showing high plasma viral antigen's association with clinical worsening & longer time to discharge. It highlights the need for targeted anti-viral trials in severe COVID. acpjournals.org/doi/epdf/10.73…
