Sparta Research Study

Looking for participants who are willing to participate in a research study to capture the immune landscape of possible SARS-CoV-2 Infection and the disease causing COVID-19. Scientists Nation wide, in conjunction with the National Institute of Health, and the University of Georgia, are addressing perplexing questions about SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 disease, by establishing and following cohorts across Georgia, and various sites across the United States. This study attempts to capture the immune landscape of possible SARS-COV-2 (severe acute respiratory disease coronavirus 2) infection in the human body (i.e., pre/post AND Re-infection, pre/post Vaccination(s) and Boost) and COVID-19 disease topography. These data are needed to understand when immune responses develop, how long they last, and importantly, if antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 and/or other variants of SARS, or other immune system components provide immune protection from re-infection, and ultimately how COVID-19 disease impacts the immune system. Further we will examine immunological, demographic and medical risk factors for infection outcome and examine immune responses to infection across the disease spectrum as we know it today, and how it evolves over time.
