The Daily Californian—Senior Investigator Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and collaborator Abdullah Syed, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Senior Investigator Jennifer Doudna, explain how they discovered that antibodies against early versions of the SARS-CoV-2 virus do not protect well against the now widespread and highly contagious Omicron variant, and recommend masking to avoid new infections.

Washington 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.

ABC 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.

USA Today—When the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 swept the country this winter, many had hoped it might help move the population closer to herd immunity. 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.

STAT News—COVID-19 case numbers are rising once again across the United States. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that the virus is adapting to a new immune landscape, with variants emerging that are able to cause infection even in individuals who were previously infected.

CBC—The FDA recently authorized a fourth dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for all individuals over aged 50, and for those 12 and older with immunodeficiencies. Melanie Ott, director of the Gladstone Institute of Virology, explains that whereas a fourth shot may not be urgently necessary for individuals who are young and healthy, she does encourage those eligible to ensure that they get their third shot (first booster).

San Jose Mercury News—Senior Investigators Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, and Bruce Conklin, MD, recount how they used miniature balls of beating heart cells called organoids to study the effects of COVID-19 on the heart. The heart cells were derived from a person's skin cells, thanks to technology pioneered by Senior Investigator and Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka, MD, PhD.
