Supporting institutions

Thank you to the following organisations who have provided invaluable contributions to the study:

3D crowd for supplying a generous number of face masks.

St Clements Dental practice, St John Street, London, for lending us their face visors. This is precious equipment in short supply and needed by our frontline NHS staff while we await bulk orders.

Alex Templeton of Qured for offering to help out when we were short of swabs.

UCL MRC Centre for Lifelong Health and Aging for sharing blood tubes whilst we awaited the delivery arrival (now safely arrived).

Gary King and AIMES management services, Liverpool for help with many of the tools to keep up with the demand for the study.

Andrew Catchpole and hVIVO supporting RNA analysis sample kits.
