As it was a period marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, the researchers of the Stefan S. Nicolau Institute of Virology, in addition to their current fundamental and applied research activities in priority research areas, offered to serve the national public health system. Following the Order of the Minister of Health no. 639/21.04.2020, the Institute of Virology was integrated into the list of specialized units implementing the National Program for the Surveillance and Control of Priority Communicable Diseases. Since March 2021, by Order of the Minister of Health no. 383/18.03.2021, it was nominated as a regional laboratory (half of the southeast region) for the screening of SARS-CoV-2 viral variants.
The departments “Cellular and Molecular Pathology”, “Molecular Virology”, “Emerging Viral Diseases”, “Strategy, Education, Documentation, IT”, “Immunology Center”, as well as the financial and administrative structures, have been actively involved in testing for SARS-CoV-2 both for the Public Health Department and in various projects initiated by national authorities, currently having a biobank of over 4400 samples that have served as the basis material for the identification research through next-generation sequencing (NGS) of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants.
To date, over 50 viral isolates have been tested by NGS, by attracting donations from the “Always Close Foundation” and the “Foundation for Molecular and Cellular Medicine,” with a large part of these sequences already disseminated to the international community by publication in GISAID, the most important database of SARS-CoV-2 sequences and associated clinical and epidemiological data.
Also, following the updating and validation of the level 3 biosafety laboratory (BSL-3), with the support of the Romanian Academy, several SARS CoV-2 viral variants could be isolated and characterized from biological samples from our sample bank, strains that, following the sequencing of the entire viral genome on our NGS platform (Illumina), were associated with the following viral variants: a) B.1.408; B.1.258; B.1.88; b) starting from March 2021, the B.1.1.7 (VOC) variant, c) exclusively the B.1.617.2 (delta) variant since July 2021.
As a result of the start of the national vaccination campaign, initially targeting healthcare personnel as a priority group, a collaboration was initiated with the National Institute of Public Health and 3 major hospitals in the capital (Victor Babeș Hospital for Infectious and Tropical Diseases, Emergency University Hospital, Carol Davila Nephrology Hospital) for the longitudinal evaluation of the immune status post-vaccination and the dynamics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in anti-COVID-19 vaccinated medical personnel. Over 500 people were enrolled, from whom longitudinal samples will be obtained at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months post-vaccination.
The study will provide important information on the duration of the immune response after vaccination, contribute to the evaluation of vaccination efficacy and the assessment of the rate of asymptomatic post-vaccination infections, as well as to the establishment of markers associated with protection. Another important project within the Romanian Academy’s current research program for 2021 is focused on studying the prognostic factors of COVID-19 evolution. Within this project, a serum bank has already been created from over 500 patients hospitalized at the Victor Babeș Hospital with a diagnosis of SARS CoV-2 infection, who have benefited from different therapeutic schemes. The association between severe evolution and the level of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, as well as the effectiveness of targeted therapies (monoclonal antibodies inhibiting IL-6 or IL-1 receptors), is being evaluated. Also, correlations between the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, viral variants, and specific host molecular markers have been investigated.
The Stefan S. Nicolau Institute of Virology (IVN) has promoted international collaboration and interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, winning prestigious European-funded projects with international partners. Currently, the EU-Horizon 2020 STAMINA project is being implemented, which will develop a multinational partnership of intelligent decision support tools for predicting and managing pandemics, as well as guidelines for effective implementation of principles and good practices to be applied in risk communication and preparedness and response plans. PERISCOPE, also an EU-Horizon 2020 project, in partnership with 32 countries, will analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vulnerable and overexposed groups employed in the “front line.”
These research directions generated by the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in various publications, including those by the Stefan S. Nicolau Institute of Virology:
