Manali Mukherjee is a respiratory immunologist at McMaster University, Canada, whose research reveals the biological basis of Long COVID. Her studies identify autoantibodies and inflammatory markers driving persistent symptoms, disproportionately affecting women dismissed as anxious rather than ill. By turning an invisible illness into measurable evidence, she is closing a critical diagnostic gap and advancing equitable, precision-based care for patients worldwide.
Manali Mukherjee is a 2026 Falling Walls Winner in the Women's Impact Award category.
