Pathogenic flaviviruses: molecular mechanisms of disease, host response, and vaccines [ 2014 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Alexander Khromykh (Principal investigator)

Brief description The application is aimed at advancing our understanding of the viral and host processes determining outcome of infection with pathogenic flaviviruses (i.e. West Nile virus) to the level allowing most comprehensive design of effective vaccines and anti-viral drugs. One of the aims is also to develop novel viral delivery vectors for cancer therapy based on self-replicating RNA of an attenuated Australian strain of West Nile virus, Kunjin.
