Interventionist estimands in event history analysis

Matias Janvin

The presence of competing events, such as death, makes it challenging to define causal effects on recurrent outcomes. In this thesis, I formalize causal inference for recurrent events, with and without competing events. I define several causal estimands an ...

Broadly potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody shares 93% of epitope with ACE2 and provides full protection in monkeys

Didier Trono, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Yoan Désiré Duhoo, Jérémy Campos, Myriam Isabelle Lamrayah, Vanessa Genet

Due to the rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 to variants with reduced sensitivity to vaccine-induced humoral immunity and the near complete loss of protective efficacy of licensed therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, we isolated a potent, broad-spectrum neutrali ...
