February 2021

Award of an NIAID R21 “Exploring alternate targets for inhibition of virus infection by PPI disruption” to Sylvie van der Werf (Institut Pasteur), Caroline Demeret (Institut Pastuer) and Mike Calderwood (DFCI) which aims to develop a pipeline to identify compounds that inhibit key viral-host interactions, hence preventing viral infection and avoiding viral resistance.
