This innovative two-day conference will review the challenges of understanding the pathophysiological changes following COVID-19 infection. These persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection, otherwise known as ‘long COVID’, have affected people all around the world. It is a heterogeneous disease with multimorbidities and affecting many physiological systems.
Bringing together physiologists and clinicians, we can better understand the underlying mechanisms and identify potential therapies.
