UWindsor researchers looking for earlier warnings of COVID complications

Three UWindsor researchers are studying specific proteins in the lungs as an early warning system for COVID-19 complications.

Biology professors Munir Rahim and Lisa Porter and biochemistry professor Yufeng Tong are researching pro-inflammatory cytokines— microscopic proteins released by immune cells when the lungs are infected with a virus.
