Coronavirus
Project
Nanobody-guided antivirus drug delivery
The threat of emerging new viruses is rising, demanding more effective antiviral strategies to block progression of acute infections. A fast-acting new treatment could reduce the need for intensive care for people most at risk.
Project
Defining how coronaviruses enter and traffic in cells
Initial interactions between viruses and cells determine the course of infection. We are applying advanced imaging and biochemical methods to map the early events during infection by the model coronavirus OC43. Our work will reveal new strategies to target viral infections, including by potential future pandemic agents.
