Emerging arboviruses are a global threat.
Projects
02
Cell biology of viral infections
Infectious diseases continue to be the main cause of death worldwide.
03
New advances in light and electron microscopy
Recent technological developments in live cell microscopy and CLEM are providing unique tools to characterize complex biological systems.
04
Drug repurposing and new antivirals
New, efficient, broad-spectrum antivirals are needed to combat viruses that cause disease in plants, animals and humans.
05
Organoid models as an alternative to experiments with animals
After validation in animal models, more than 9 in 10 drugs that enter human clinical trials fail because they are unsafe or ineffective.
06
Electron microscopy to study therapeutic drugs
More than any other methodology, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to our knowledge about the organization of cells and viruses.
