Sant Pau Biomedical Research Institute (IIB Sant Pau) is a partner in the COVIRNA project. The project aims to generate an innovative diagnostic tool to identify COVID-19 patients at risk of developing fatal cardiovascular complications in the context of the current pandemic, ultimately leading to their improved surveillance and care. The COVIRNA video outlines the project objectives and the methodology used to achieve them. It has been produced in cooperation with Science Animated.
The overall goal of the COVIRNA project is to generate a diagnostic test based on cardiovascular RNA biomarkers highly predictive of the clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients and to enable its rapid market uptake with the aim to improve individualised surveillance, care and follow-up of these patients in the context of the current pandemic.
