A New Vision of Health
Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute at the University of Louisville
The Christina Lee Brown Envirome Institute at the University of Louisville will expand into a new campus in the heart of the city. The New Vision of Health Campus will be a world-class research center studying how to improve environmental and social conditions for better health. It will bring together the academy and the community to develop citizen scientists learning how to make decisions through the lens of all forms of health.
Co-Immunity Project
The purpose of this project is to help healthcare workers determine if they have been unknowingly exposed to COVID-19, to measure how much immunity was generated by such exposure, and to identify those with the best immune responses as donors of high quality plasma for rescue treatment of patients with advanced COVID-19. The data will be used by scientists worldwide who are working to determine whether quantitative antibody measurements can be used to predict immunity in the overall workforce.
