Abstract

Emerging viruses and antibiotic-resistant superbugs are the most important challenge to human health in the 21st century. New viruses such as SARS-CoV2 and Zika, as well as antibiotic resistant superbugs, emerge regularly and rapidly, urgently requiring new therapies. Our multidisciplinary Synergy team has demonstrated success in drug development and will create new drugs to avert the imminent global health disaster posed by emerging viruses and superbugs.
