I interviewed Claire Sayers, who is a postdoctoral researcher in the Billker group. She left behind her parents in Tasmania, and twin brother in Western Australia, to join first the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK, then MIMS in Umeå in May 2019. What brings her so far away from home? It is Claire’s passion and openness for science and the world.

Text after the original press release written by Ola Nilsson.
The female sex hormone oestrogen may have some protective effect against becoming seriously ill and dying in COVID-19, according to a registry study conducted at Umeå University. The study, now published in BMJ Open, was lead by Dr. Anne-Marie Fors Connolly, MIMS Clinical Research Fellow as the senior author, and Dr Malin Sund, professor at Umeå University, as the first author. If so, this could explain why men are more likely than women to die during the pandemic.
