Abstract

We urgently need to generate better diagnostics and treatments for the next viral pandemic. Here, I will develop novel diagnostics and therapies for both severe influenza virus and coronavirus infections â€" two viruses of significant pandemic potential. The aim is to bring these treatments and diagnostics to clinical development now, so that we will have a ready stockpile of validated therapeutics and diagnostics to treat infected individuals at the inevitable outset of the next viral pandemic.
