The Novo Nordisk Foundation has awarded an international research team led by Professor Rainer Haag 1,860,959 euros to support the development of precision glycol-oligomers as hetero-multivalent pandemic influenza virus blockers.

The influenza A virus (IAV) anchors to host cell surfaces with different surface proteins to initiate the infection cycle. These surface proteins are responsible for virus adhesion to host cells and the release of newly produced viruses. ...
