Uncovering immune responses in COVID-19 patients
A new study finds T cell immune response variation in recovered COVID-19 patients, including epitopes potentially important for vaccine design.
Read moreMRC WIMM researchers part of ground-breaking new study into long-term health impacts of coronavirus
A major UK research study into the long-term health impacts of COVID-19 on hospitalised patients has been launched.
Read moreIntroducing CytoCensus: A new cell mapping tool
A machine learning tool to characterise complex 4D image tissue and organism data could aid research into diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer.
Read moreSerum iron may be useful biomarker to identify COVID-19 disease severity
A new study led by Radcliffe Department of Medicine researchers analyses iron levels in COVID-19 intensive care patients to find that patients with very low levels of iron had severe respiratory failure.
Read moreOxford-Sri Lanka study to compare COVID-19 immune response
The study builds on a successful collaboration and will compare T cell and antibody responses to uncover the role of ‘background’ immunity to virus strains already in circulation, including infections with similar coronaviruses.

Getting set up to Work at Home
To work with your files on the WIMM servers at home, you first need to set up a VPN connection.
If you have the WIMM (Novell) server client installed, you can then login remotely to the network.
If your PI has authorised you for remote access to your WIMM desktop the following documents will provide the instructions to do this (this service is limited to those authorised by their PIs)
Connecting to the WIMM Macintosh Desktop
Connecting to the WIMM Windows Desktop
