Our Purpose: Long COVID and post-vaccination conditions are multisystemic and require an interdisciplinary, coordinated approach across research, diagnostics, and treatments. RAPID organizes six vertical Centers so domain experts can coordinate overlapping research and data exchange.
Explore the six centers driving post-infectious research forward — or collaborate with RAPID to advance it.
RAPID is a global, interdisciplinary scientific alliance advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of post-infectious and post-vaccination chronic conditions, including Long COVID and Post-Vaccination syndromes.
Each Center concentrates expertise in a defined medical domain while contributing to shared methods, interoperable data, and coordinated translation.
The Infectious Diseases Medical Sciences Center investigates the role of persistent viral components and post-infectious biological mechanisms in chronic disease. Particular focus is placed on spike protein persistence, viral reservoirs,...
The Systemic Recovery Medical Sciences Center investigates the systemic biological processes involved in recovery from post-infectious disease. Research within this center focuses on the complex interactions between inflammation, metabol...
The Cardiovascular Medical Sciences Center investigates vascular and circulatory complications associated with post-infectious syndromes and persistent inflammatory signaling. Particular attention is given to endothelial function, microv...
The Neurological Medical Sciences Center focuses on the effects of post-infectious biological stressors on the central and peripheral nervous systems. Research within this center investigates neuroinflammation, neurovascular dysfunction,...
The Internal & Gastrointestinal Medical Sciences Center investigates the role of internal organ systems and gastrointestinal health in post-infectious disease and systemic recovery. Particular focus is placed on the gastrointestinal trac...
The Immunological Medical Sciences Center investigates immune system dysregulation and inflammatory signaling associated with post-infectious disease. Research within this center focuses on the mechanisms through which immune responses m...
