COVID-19
LSTM is playing a unique role in the response to COVID-19, covering all of the translational research cycle. From the beginning of the outbreak It has partnered with industry, academic institutions and organisations aimed to have the best possible impact on public health in the UK and overseas.
A lot of LSTM’s research is conducted via its Centre for Drugs and Diagnostics (CDD). This Centre comprises an experienced multi-disciplinary group of experts working together researching, developing and validating drugs and diagnostics in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research into vaccines is the only way to find out which vaccines will work. LSTM plays a key role in the various COVID-19 vaccine research programmes that are ongoing, most notably establishing LSTM as a Phase III trial site for the Oxford Vaccine Trial.
LSTM also partners with multiple other institutions and organisations to provide evidence based advisory services to government departments and other interested parties.

Well Travelled Clinics and COVID-19
Since the early days of the pandemic, staff at LSTM’s Well Travelled Clinics (WTC) have played a significant role in supporting LSTM and local NHS and PHE health care teams in their response to COVID-19.
Improving Health Systems: Adjusting to COVID-19
LSTM researchers, led by Professors Sally Theobald, Miriam Taegtmeyer, Imelda Bates and Dr. Laura Dean and partner organisations (University of Liverpool & Ministry of Health, Liberia, and Liverpool Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) are currently looking into how health systems in Liverpool and Liberia have been adjusting to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

COVID-19 Advocacy
Building Back Better for All
The Briefing tackles the urgent and topical issue of the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on racially minoritised groups. It highlights that this impact is “not only directly felt in terms of health outcomes but compounds and is compounded by unequal social impacts in housing, education, employment social care/welfare and criminal justice”.As part of a series of COVID-10 Policy Briefings, commissioned by University of Liverpool’s Heseltine Institute to support civic leaders and policy makers in their response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, LSTM’s Dr Angela Obasi was co-author on the Policy Briefing ‘Racial inequalities and COVID-19: Building Back Better for All.
The Briefing summarises the adverse impacts on Black, Asian and other racially minoritised people and outlines the need for more rigorous exploration and analysis of policy making and policy impacts with regard to racial equity.
The authors highlight the importance of meaningful and well-resourced multi-sector partnership in the design and implementation of strategies for recovery and the need for such strategies to be co-produced with communities to help counteract the impact of racial inequalities.
The recommendations are designed to support Liverpool civic leaders and policy makers to take the opportunity that recovery programming provides to not merely to return to “normal” but to actively remedy inequalities and truly build back better for all.
COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition
LSTM Director, Professor David Lalloo, joined a group of scientists, physicians, funders and policy makers from over 70 institutions from over 30 countries who launched an international coalition to respond to COVID-19 in resource-poor settings.
The COVID-19 Clinical Research Coalition aims to accelerate desperately needed COVID-19 research in those areas where the virus could wreak havoc on already-fragile health systems and cause the greatest health impact on vulnerable populations.
In a Comment published in The Lancet, the members of the coalition argue that international research collaboration and coordination is needed urgently to support African, Latin American, Eastern European, and certain Asian countries to respond effectively to the worsening pandemic and speed up research adapted to resource-limited settings.
