With a particular focus on variants of MERS-CoV. The work is funded under a contract from the US Food and Drug Administration medical countermeasures program. The project will focus on the replicas of MERS-CoV by developing appropriate in vitro assays and the functioning of variants of this complex in the presence and absence of MCMs, and is in collaboration with the team of Professor.
