“Meet Three Doctors Who Are Pioneering a Plasma Program for Coronavirus Treatment” - Mackenzie Nichols
As the coronavirus continues to take its toll, hospitals across the country are looking at experimental techniques that involve plasma transfusions from patients who have recovered to those who are still sick. At The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, three doctors have been heading that unit since March. The team includes Judith Aberg, MD, chief of infectious diseases, specializing in HIV research and care; Nicole Bouvier, MD, a physician and researcher in infectious diseases; and Ania Wajnberg, an MD of internal medicine who oversees all of the outpatient ambulatory practices at Mount Sinai and leads antibody testing across New York and parts of New Jersey.
