ISAVRAD Project AFRICA
The Chronic Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of SARS-Cov-2 (ISAVRAD Project) is to explore the impact of COVID-19 on brain health, alongside the well-being of individuals who haven’t had the virus. This project aims to provide new insights into how our minds and bodies have been affected by the pandemic, focusing on brain activity, genetic factors, and cognitive health.
Research Goals
- Understand Long-Term Brain Health: Examine the lasting effects of COVID-19 on the brain and mental health.
- Assess Genetic Influences: Identify how genetics and environmental factors contribute to brain health in different populations.
- Promote Healthy Aging: Discover ways to support long-term cognitive health and quality of life in diverse communities.
