Influenza A viruses and SARS-CoV-2 cause global health problems. Establishes factors involved in viral replication, antiviral defence or inflammation are considered attractive targets for pharmaceutical treatment strategies. We will design tailor-made nanoparticles for compounds with limited cell-permeation. We will use an available and highly scalable synthetic antiviral drug, a natural anti-inflammatory drug, or inhibitors for viral uptake and viral uncoating. These nanoparticles will be characterized for their functionality in cellular systems.
