Scientific summary
Our team belongs to the unit EA4610 (Dir.Bruno LINA) and is interested in the role of proteases in Influenza pathogenicity, both in term of HA cleavage and Protease-activated-Receptor (PAR) activation. Based on the fondamental studies, our goal is to developp new tools against Flu. Particularly, the objective is to target a cellular factor instead of the virus in order to prevent emergence of resistance.
