Mission
The Immunosuppressed/Compromised (ISC) Clinical Domain Team aims to gain a better understanding of how COVID-19 affects patient populations with suppressed or compromised immune systems. The initial research will focus on a subset of target populations, including persons with HIV, solid organ transplant patients, and patients with autoimmune disorders, including skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis and eczema. The team will also identify areas of research for the ISC populations that will require additional in-depth study at a level that the N3C data may not be able to provide. Through this research, a better understanding will be gained for how various types, levels, and durations of immunosuppression or compromise contribute towards ISC patient outcomes upon COVID-19 infection.
Team meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:00am PT/10:00am ET. Register for meetings here.
The Immunosuppressed/Compromised (ISC) Domain Team is comprised of several self-organizing subdomain teams that lead research in their specific specialties and projects. These teams focus on researching the impact of COVID-19 on particular subsets of the ISC population. For more information on the ISC Domain Team, their work within the N3C Data Enclave, and their associated subdomain teams, view the recorded ISC presentations.
