Abstract

Respiratory viruses like influenza and COVID-19 keep evolving, making treatments less effective. We’re engineering a new treatment approach using Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP), an accessible drug-free technology that kills viruses and boosts the body's natural defences. Unlike vaccines, CAP works regardless of new mutations that may occur. Our research will fine-tune CAP and uncover how it strengthens immunity, paving the way for a fast, broad antiviral solution to improve global health.
