Clinical Study

RSV

Research in respiratory viruses like RSV, COVID-19, and flu tracks how these infections spread, how the body responds, and what happens over time. Clinical teams are working to understand these common illnesses better and explore how people can stay healthier during respiratory virus season.

Recruiting

Now Recruiting RSV, COVID-19, flu and other respiratory viruses Volunteers

Research in RSV, COVID-19, flu and other respiratory viruses is focused on understanding how these infections affect people and communities. Teams are trying to learn how symptoms develop and change, how the body's immune system responds to these viruses, and what factors influence how illness unfolds. Taking part usually means visits with the clinical team where they ask about your health history and any recent illness, do routine check-ins, and may collect samples like nasal swabs. Some programs track what happens over weeks or months to see how recovery unfolds. All clinical research in the United States is overseen by institutional review boards—independent groups of doctors, scientists, and community members who review programs before they start and watch them while they run. People interested in respiratory virus research can register their interest here, and the clinical team will reach out to explain what programs are available nearby and what taking part would involve.
