Millions of People Live With Long COVID. This Researcher Is on a Mission to Find a Cure.

Summary: Millions of people still suffer from long COVID, a condition where symptoms stick around long after the initial infection. Dr. Michael Peluso, an infectious disease doctor at UCSF, is leading the charge to find a cure. Drawing on his past work with HIV, he created a special tissue bank to study how the virus hides in the body's organs—like the gut and lymph nodes—even when regular blood tests look completely normal. His team is running intense clinical trials to target the root cause of the disease. Dr. Peluso is highly hopeful that a cure, or a set of specific cures, is on the horizon.
