Our new preprint examines factors associated with COVID-19 booster vaccine effectiveness, showing that both time since vaccination and recency of the vaccine immunogen contribute to declining VE and giving support for regular vaccine updates.

New work from @KirbyInstitute shows viral clearance predicts clinical protection after COVID-19 treatment. Super important finding to speed up drug development to protect vulnerable populations. Great working with @ProfStephenKent @markpoliz @Tari_Turner thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…
Our latest manuscript aggregates all available data to show that updated COVID vaccines increase antibodies to a future variant by 40% compared to last season's vaccine. Another great @KirbyInstitute collaboration between @IAP_Sydney and @viralvaxlab medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Strong link between early viral load reduction by anti-COVID treatments and clinical efficacy.
Helps rapidly progress better treatments.
Bravo, great work by Khoury, Davenport and team. @IAP_Sydney @TheDohertyInst @KirbyInstitute @viralvaxlab medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Great news - new evidence shows that the effectiveness of COVID-19 treatments can be determined based on how fast treated subjects can clear the virus. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… More great work from @IAP_Sydney at @KirbyInstitute
Get boosted! Our new research in Nature Medicine shows both normal and bivalent boosters increase antibody levels, though variant boosters give on average 60% more antibodies. #COVID19Abs nature.com/articles/s41591-0… @IAP_Sydney @KirbyInstitute @ProfStephenKent

Neutralizing #antibody titers elicited by either ancestral or bivalent #COVID19 #vaccine boosters are predicted to increase protection against severe disease due to #SARSCoV2 variants. @DebCro @IAP_Sydney @KirbyInstitute

Another win for neutralising antibodies! Who would have thought they are also correlated with protection against Severe COVID-19?? (Well maybe @IAP_Sydney would!) #COVID19Abs nature.com/articles/s41467-0… Great working with @m_steain @sarah_sasson @ProfStephenKent @KirbyInstitute

Do you like your covid-19 vaccines to give you a good dose of neutralising antibodies? You should because we've shown they correlate not only with protection from symptomatic but also severe disease! Another great collab with @DebCro nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Some data (to complement the range of opinions) on variant boosters in our latest preprint medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Why to make of the BA.5 boosters coming soon?

Our latest meta-analysis comparing ancestral + variant based boosters. Shows the gain from variant boosters is very dependent on the existing protection in the population. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @IAP_Sydney @KirbyInstitute @ProfStephenKent @kanta_subbarao @TheDohertyInst
Follow up on this seminar - the paper I was discussing on correlates of severe COVID-19 is now up as a preprint here medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Join us online for the next CMMID seminar on "neutralising antibodies as a correlate for predicting protection from #COVID19 disease".

Our latest preprint shows that neutralising antibodies predict protection from severe COVID-19. Great collaborating with @ProfStephenKent @m_steain on this important work from the @KirbyInstitute medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
New preprint from our group combining work from multiple studies and showing a threshold for neutralising antibodies protecting from SARS-CoV-2. Great collaborating as always with @ProfStephenKent @m_steain @TricckyLab medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Are monoclonals, convalescent plasma or hyperimmune Ig an effective treatment strategy for COVID-19? Check out the latest analysis. Researchers at @KirbyInstitute in collab with our @erica_m_wood @ZoeMcquilten Khai Li Chai and others show timing matters! medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
New work from our group showing passive antibodies work best when given early. Very effective as prophylaxis / in early stages - once in hospital they have little to no effect.
