When submitting an application, we would greatly appreciate it if you could allow sufficient time for the processing.

Following a change to our organizational structure effective April 1, 2026, this division has been renamed from the "Database Center for Life Science, Joint Support-Center for Data Science Research" to the "Database Division for Life Science (DBCLS), BioData Science Initiative (BSI), National Institute of Genetics (NIG)". Where the former name still appears in the guidelines, please read it as the new name.

Research title

A study of resistance to novel coronavirus infection in health care workers

Research overview

Aims
There have been cases of what appear to be nosocomial infections among healthcare workers at several hospitals. The infected healthcare workers were assumed to have contracted the disease through close contact with infected patients. However, we confirmed at each hospital that there were many healthcare workers who had apparently had closer contact with infected patients than the infected healthcare workers but had not contracted the disease. The purpose of this study was to clarify the internal factors that make individuals less susceptible to novel coronavirus infection and their stress tolerance and to establish a system that contributes to the appropriate allocation of healthcare workers and the creation of a system that can more safely deal with this disease in the future.
Methods
Amplicon sequencing was performed using genomic DNA purified from peripheral blood.
Participants/materials
139 healthy individuals who had contacted patients infected with novel coronavirus but did not contract novel coronavirus
