Reassuringly, the University of Bristol-led study published in The BMJ today [July 20], found protection in older adults aged over 65 years, and in clinically vulnerable adults.
It has been announced today [19 April] that the University of Bristol will be joining a new MRC national genetics network for disease modelling comprising 7 challenge-led research clusters, with members distributed across the UK.
