ACHIEVING GROWTH

ABOUT US

Dr. Coronado and Dr. Eberle aim the study of infections by viruses with a major impact on neglected viral diseases. The main focus is arboviruses such as Zika, Yellow fever, Dengue, Chikungunya, Mayaro, Oropouche, among others. Recently, they have started the SARS-CoV-2 project. The research is carried out in collaboration with members of Brazilian universities (the University of Tocantins, University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Famerp, UNESP/Ibilce), as well as German universities (the University of Berlin, University of Frankfurt, University of Düsseldorf and the Juelich Research Center). 

Our researches are divided into two core areas: the understanding of the relation between the virus and the host cell, as well as the development of effective broad-spectrum antivirals, applying biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, microbiology, bioinformatics, and structural studies.
