More than a third of Hispanic adults in the U.S. suffer from symptoms of long COVID. Our own Troy Torgerson and Samir Rachid Zaim, PhD spoke with WA Latino News about our collaboration with the Latino Center for Health and Fred Hutch to better understand what's driving the high rates here in Washington state and what are the unique care needs of the community.

Unraveling the mysteries of the human immune system in health and disease
About us
The Allen Institute for Immunology will work to understand the dynamic balancing act of the human immune system, how it senses friend from foe and what goes wrong when we’re ill. This will help us to improve immune health and how we diagnose, treat and prevent immune-related diseases. Everything we do begins with patients who are living with and suffering from these diseases. We believe that by unlocking the mysteries of the immune system, we can make a significant improvement in patients’ health and well being.

ICYMI - Together with Seattle Children's Research Institute, we're launching the Seattle STRIDE study, an initiative to unravel the molecular mysteries of pediatric IBD through deep immune profiling. More about the study: https://lnkd.in/gEpEd-UG #pediatricIBD
Hope for kids with IBD: New trial aims to improve treatment

In honor of World IBD Day, Seattle Children’s would like to thank the many researchers and providers who are working relentlessly to bring better treatment options to children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a lifelong condition with no current cures; once a person begins treatment, they continue treatment indefinitely. Seattle Children’s just launched a first-of-its-kind pediatric research study to better understand how and why inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) begins, with the goal of ultimately personalizing treatment plans for each patient. The Seattle STRIDE study, to be conducted exclusively at Seattle Children’s in partnership with the Allen Institute for Immunology, will harness single cell spatial transcriptomics and single cell multi-omics to understand how genes and other molecules behave in individual cells of patients who haven't been treated yet. Children with IBD typically must try multiple treatments and medications over time to find one that works best. Researchers hope that the information gained from the Seattle STRIDE study will not only improve treatment options, but also inform the decisions on how to treat each patient, reducing the number of treatments patients must undergo. The study is recruiting participants ages 6 to 18 years old over a three-year period. Learn more about the STRIDE study on https://lnkd.in/gb__TNEE

Seattle Children’s Research Institute and the Allen Institute for Immunology today launched a first-of-its-kind study, known as the Seattle Spatial Transcriptomic Research in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Evaluation (STRIDE) study to better understand how and why inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD) begins, and ultimately, provide targeted therapy to children who suffer from IBD. IBD – which includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis – affects 3 million people in the U.S., and 30% of all IBD diagnoses are in patients 20 years and younger. The incidence of IBD in children is increasing. Currently, there is no cure for pediatric IBD. Seattle STRIDE will be the first study of its kind for children in the world to deploy novel techniques (single cell spatial transcriptomics and single cell multi-omics) to understand IBD disease states. Researchers will use state-of-the-art technology to understand how genes and other molecules behave in individual cells of newly diagnosed patients who haven't been treated yet. “This study will provide the truest understanding of the intestinal immune system using the most thorough and unbiased techniques to date,” said Dr. Hengqi (Betty) Zheng, principal investigator for the trial at Seattle Children’s. The study is recruiting participants ages 6 to 18 years old over a three-year period. Learn more about the STRIDE study on https://lnkd.in/gb__TNEE.

Pediatric IBD is more aggressive, harder to treat, and growing in prevalence. Our partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute will apply deep immune profiling to decode what is happening and identify treatments. More: https://lnkd.in/d_bhBPP89022 ✍️ Kurt Schlosser for GeekWire

Congratulations to post-baccalaureate researcher Nelson Mukuka on presenting at Immunology 2024 and being awarded the 2024 AAI Trainee Poster Award! #AAI2024 #Immunology2024
Post-Baccalaureate Researcher at Allen institute | Biology Major, Chemistry Minor @LeMoyne-Owen college
What an amazing privilege I had to present my research at this years American Association of Immunologists conference-AAI held in Chicago. I was also particularly pleased as my Abstract was Chosen for the 2024 AAI Trainee Poster Award. Standing next to my poster and having fellow researchers stop by was a humbling experience. My sincere Appreciation to my mentor Claire Gustafson, Ph.D.for the tremendous help and guidance with the project thus far, Kathy Henderson for the daily back and forth experimental help!(making sure I have all the correct controls for my experiments haha) and for being such a wealth of Knowledge for me to tap into. I also had the opportunity to briefly connect with Curtis Henry, Ph.D. who has gracefully taken me up and shared so many resources and I am just so eternally grateful to him for the continued support. A huge shoutout to the rest of Allen Institute for Immunology, Ernie Coffey and Troy Torgerson for the amazing leadership. None of this would be possible without the hard work of the New Seasons Youth Program Family who have always supported me and provided me with resources to excel!
