Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is currently doing the `init` hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. It appears the plugin with slug `jetpack` is responsible; please contact the author. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

About Us - McMillan Research Limited

COVID-19 Research Project

The aim of this research project is to understand the immune dysregulation in COVID-19 which is the primary cause of lung damage, leading to death, in order to change the course of the pandemic. The hypothesis is that autoimmunity to ACE-2 (the viral entry receptor) is triggered when elevated levels of serum ACE-2 bind to viral spike proteins. Research at Johns Hopkins University recently confirmed a part of this hypothesis by identifying IgM autoantibodies to ACE-2 in the serum of severe cases. This research project is expected to focus on a comprehensive search for autoantibodies to ACE-2 in people with COVID-19.

Collaboration with Vrais Héros Foundation

McMillan Research is collaborating with Vrais Héros Foundation to raise funds for medical research. Vrais Héros Foundation provides a community care programme in support of COVID-19 first responders. Its purpose is to support nurses in hospital emergency wards in a mindful way, with whole-person care packages during the COVID-19 pandemic, and potentially thereafter.

Disclaimer

McMillan Research does not currently have real world evidence data regarding all aspects of autoimmunity in COVID-19. The theory of autoimmunity in COVID-19 could form the basis for clinical investigation and medical monitoring. There are many challenges associated with clinical trials, especially clinical human trials. A clinical trial study requires a comprehensive development plan, and may use clinical biostatistics. A centre for clinical research focused on long COVID, could potentially provide much needed solutions.
