Dr. Amy Proal is the President and Research Director of PolyBio Research Foundation, a non-profit organisation that brings together some of the brightest scientific minds to research how infection-associated chronic conditions are studied, diagnosed and treated.  Their work into Long Covid is bringing together some of the leaders in the field to accelerate studies and clinical trials to further develop understanding and treatment strategies for the condition.  In this week’s episode we talk to Dr. Proal about the current most prominent mechanistic theory of viral persistence in tissues, PolyBio’s research into anti-viral therapeutics, and SARS-COV2 strategies that could help us to prevent Long Covid, rather than having to constantly clear up the increasing residue for years to come.Living with Long Covid?
