Developing a lipid nanoparticle-based gene therapy approach for the treatment and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection

The current global health emergency surrounding the coronavirus outbreak highlights the need for new treatments to combat virus infections and ways to prevent similar outbreaks in the future. Our research team has devised novel strategies to develop an effective vaccine and anti-viral drugs to treat and prevent infections by such viruses. This grant application is designed to rapidly develop and test these therapies for use in the current outbreak and to limit the spread and health consequences of any similar outbreaks in the future
