“We believe that this technology has the potential for providing insight into immunity, and we’re working intensely to develop a quantitative version,” said Carlos Cordon-Cardo, MD, PhD, Irene Heinz Given and John LaPorte Given Professor and Chair of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine at Mount Sinai. “We expect that future findings will be critical to vaccine development and the development of advanced therapeutics.” Due to the large number of COVID-19 patients who have been treated at Mount Sinai, with over 5,000 patients returning home to date, the Mount Sinai technology has been utilized across a large and highly diverse population.
“This technology reflects our commitment to everyone affected by SARS-CoV-2 and to developing tools for effectively combatting this disease,” said Erik Lium, PhD, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Innovation Officer at Mount Sinai. “We believe that the rapid development, scaleup and distribution of these kits, based on the highly accurate Mount Sinai assay, can be a cornerstone in the global battle against COVID-19.”
