Thomas Jefferson U: NIH Research Funding for Virus Study Leads to Novel Treatment Approach

Posted by Rebecca Inch-Partridge on Mon, Feb 19, 2018

Thomas Jefferson receives over 40 million in National Institute of Health (NIH) research funding each year. One of the projects supported by the NIH since 2011 has been an investigation into DNA viruses. This study recently yielded new insight into the two states of a viral protein and revealed its function as a DNA-sensor. This finding may serve as a road map for developing anti-viral therapy for pathogenic DNA viruses.
