Research Highlight

Promising targets against viruses

How do viruses replicate in their host cell, and where can we start to prevent them from doing so? These are the questions driving the BMBF junior research group led by Dr Maria Rosenthal at the Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM). It has gained new insights into an important protein in the multiplication machinery of the fever thrombocytopenia virus SFTSV, a bunyavirus.
