A Unique Collaboration

This unique collaborative team brings together all the capabilities needed to address the COVID-19 pandemic – computational expertise, clinical experience, advanced laboratory proficiency, and a deep knowledge of human and coronavirus genetics.

COV-IRT Project Goals:

  • Enhance public datasets to reveal host infection dynamics for SARS-CoV-2 to improve medical treatment options for COVID-19 patients and Long COVID patients.

  • Determine and design optimal targets for therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 and Long COVID

  • Creating new drug delivery systems based on targets

  • Test newly developed therapeutics in both in vitro and in vivo SARS-CoV-2 and Long COVID models

  • Apply for human clinical trials

  • Use our established knowledge and methods for other viruses and future pandemics
