Gladstone scientists uncover novel aspects of HIV infection by monitoring sugars at the surface of individual immune cells
News Release Research (Publication) HIV/AIDS Virology Roan LabABC7 News—As Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 variants overtake previous coronavirus variants across the United States, Gladstone Associate Investigator Nadia Roan, PhD, explains that their success may owe both to their ability to escape our immune system and to their accelerated replication rate. She suggests that more effort should be made to block infection at the level of the airways, the virus's entry point into our body.

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.
