  6. 9. Advancing antiviral strategies against emerging RNA viruses by phenotypic drug discovery

    Author : Marianna Tampere; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pathogenic RNA viruses can emerge from unexpected sources at unexpected times and cause severe disease in humans, as exemplified by the ongoing coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Ebola virus (EBOV), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) outbreaks from the past decade. Despite the increasing impact of emerging viruses to health and economy worldwide, our preparedness to stand against these diseases is hampered by the lack of approved and effective antiviral therapies.
