Activities
Highly pathogenic viral agents causing emerging infectious diseases are of concern not only to public health but also as possible biological weapons. The ultimate goal of our research is to unlock the secrets of the pathogenicity of such viruses in humans and to develop effective vaccines and antiviral compounds against these pathogens. We have been investigating the molecular basis of the replication cycle and extreme virulence of special pathogens, using Ebolavirus, influenza virus, and SARS-CoV-2 as model viral agents.
