Ella Monitors the Immune Response in Real Time

How Ella Is Helping During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Ella is at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19. The Human Immune Monitoring Center at Mount Sinai is leveraging the high-quality data and real-time results of Ella to understand if an immunologic response during COVID-19 is turning deadly. This insight is helping them determine if novel immuno-modulating therapies have the potential to mediate response to the virus.

Watch this virtual meeting organized by the NIH and FDA, to learn more about the role of cytokines in COVID-19 and how researchers at Mount Sinai established a rapid and quantitative cytokine test on Ella to obtain actionable immune monitoring data during the management of COVID-19 patients.
