Closing date 18-09-2024- 34.15.24.TDA**Job description**:
Respiratory viruses are omnipresent, affecting global health and causing economic losses. Development of novel intervention strategies to combat these viruses is essential. The most recent example underlining this importance is the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the availability of safe and effective measles vaccines, the global incidence of measles is on the rise. Vaccine hesitancy is an important underlying problem, but there are other factors that contribute to the resurgence of measles. Since measles vaccines contain live-attenuated measles virus, patients with severe immunodeficiencies cannot be vaccinated. In addition, there is a so-called immunity gap: a period during which infants (6-14 months) have lost their maternal antibodies but are not yet eligible for vaccination and therefore susceptible to measles.
Together with collaborators in the US, we are evaluating specific antiviral peptides that can interfere with the membrane fusion between virus and target cell, thereby preventing virus infection. In initial proof-of-concept studies we have shown that these fusion inhibitory peptides can prevent measles virus infection in vitro.
