Profile DiversitySan Francisco Chronicle—A study in the Mission District of San Francisco tracked how COVID-19 symptoms have changed over the course of the pandemic. Gladstone virologist Nadia Roan explains that the Omicron variant infects the upper respiratory tract and triggers a localized immune response, which may in part explain why individuals infected during the Omicron wave were less likely to experience severe illness.
Gladstone Experts COVID-19 Virology Roan LabWashington Post—Even as COVID restrictions are easing, case numbers are rising around the country. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that recent research from her group shows that individuals infected with the Omicron variant have limited natural immunity, and may still be susceptible to infection with Omicron subvariants.
Gladstone Experts COVID-19 Virology Ott LabABC News—Gladstone virologists investigated the effect of the Omicron variant on the immune response. Melanie Ott describes her team’s discovery that previous infection with Omicron does not result in strong immunity to other known SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, as Nadia Roan explains, individuals who were vaccinated before becoming infected with Omicron did have a broadly protective immune response, emphasizing the importance of the vaccines in saving lives.

The group recently received $67.5 million from the National Institutes of Health, the largest such award in UCSF's history, to pursue work on coronaviruses and other viruses with pandemic potential.

However, Director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology Melanie Ott describes her team’s research that shows that previous infection with Omicron does not provide strong protection against infection with other variants.
