Dr Anna Brooks to study Long Covid and post-viral illness more comprehensively.
The pair were awarded funding from separate sources and have their own scientific remits.
Tate was awarded funding from Brain Research New Zealand at the end of 2020, initially to compare the molecular signatures discovered in ME/CFS with those in Long Covid.
Brooks used crowdfunding, which included support from The Associated New Zealand ME Society (ANZMES).
Brooks now leads the 'Immunity and Molecular studies of SARS-CoV-2 infection, post-viral conditions, and COVID-19 vaccination' study, launched in October, looking at immune dysfunction and multi-system dysregulation that occurs following Sars-CoV-2 infection and comparing it to those with ME/CFS.
