The research UMass Chan Medical School MD/PhD student Carly Herbert is doing related to rapid COVID-19 tests is influencing how we use the tests: https://t.co/48AtkbZLHI

Until this week, I remained a NoVid, which I chalked up to being fairly cautious, fully vaxxed & a bit lucky.
This week my luck ran out. My case is a cautionary tale, particularly for the “just a cold” folks. Mine definitely was not...I literally have scars to show for it. (1/22)

Each year on our Research Retreat we like to recognize student and faculty contributions to our @umasschan community and MSTP program. Congratulations to all!✨

Testing is still an important tool to keep people safe from #COVID19, write Nathaniel Hafer, PhD, and Apurv Soni, MD, PhD’21, of UMass Chan and Yukari Manabe, MD, of @JohnsHopkins. The testing experts answer common questions: https://t.co/ipoWxlqcwb @NateHafer @ConversationUS

Aannndd you can check out our results at @AnnalsofIM! The results remain consistent: rapid antigen tests for COVID-19 work among people with Omicron infection. @COVID19TestUs @UMassChan_PDM @UMassChan https://t.co/TbP3kDWYMv

One of my favorite projects was published today! If we give people easier ways to report their rapid antigen test results to public health departments, will they do it? @UMassChan_PDM @UMass_Medicine @COVID19TestUs

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

In a free testing program, >75% of those sent #COVID19 tests who used the digital assistant reported their rapid antigen test results to their state public health department, more so with incentives. @herbert_carly @covid19testus #OAResearch https://t.co/VVAYVZo9vy

We're recruiting a cohort of six Ph.D. students to start Fall 2023 and participate in a new Institute training program focused on biological integration across scales, from molecular virology up to climate change. Please share widely! Details here: https://t.co/TPoGjhEIhc

[Elias Said, MD, FACEP @MdFacep]

If you are sick for 1-2 days and test negative for #Covid_19, remember that home tests may be negative the first few days.

Your individualized immunity level from prior infection, vaccination, or your hybrid immunity has a lot to do with that result.

Take another test in 48 hrs

The data that FDA largely considered is from this paper by Soni et al.

And FDA new guidance is

I honestly don't have the energy to talk about the absolute shit show that is CDC's new guidance...

Thanks @michaelmina_lab for this fantastic thread describing and interpreting the importance of our results!

[Michael Mina @michaelmina_lab]

Remarkable day for COVID #rapidtests

A Thread on @US_FDA NEW GUIDANCE!

FDA finally recognized Sensitivity of test *REGIMEN* is as/more important than single test

Sort of recognized virus load goes up & impacts Rapid Tests!

Sounds familiar! (ca 2020)

Exciting news! Findings from a new study led by @UMassChan researchers are the basis for a safety communication issued by the @US_FDA today regarding serial use of at-home antigen tests for COVID-19.
Congrats to my friends, @NateHafer @herbert_carly and the team!

[Benjy Renton @bhrenton]

FDA's note comes after a new study (released last week as a preprint) finds increased sensitivity compared with PCR with serial testing.
- Symptomatic: 82% after 1 test, 93% after 2, 94% after 3
- Asymptomatic: 39% after 1 test, 62% after 2, 79% after 3

Excited to share the launch of the Yale Science Fellows program!

This is a new program for recent PhD grads featuring:
- $90k stipend
- mentored research + research funding
- structured transition to an independent faculty position!

[FDA Medical Devices @FDADeviceInfo]

Today, the @US_FDA is advising people to perform repeat, or serial, testing following a negative result on any at-home COVID-19 antigen test, whether or not you have symptoms. Find out more: https://t.co/8Pl78sAw09

[UMass Chan Medical School @UMassChan]

A new study by UMass Chan researchers and partners supported by the @NIH #RADx initiative finds when at-home #COVID19 tests are most effective at detecting infection. The findings have prompted @US_FDA recommendations: https://t.co/wRYctL12B3 @NateHafer @NIBIBgov @COVID19TestUs
