Dr. Paul Ahlquist speaks about our constant fight against emerging viruses in a video and article originally posted by the Morgridge Institute for Research.

“Viruses evolve at phenomenal rates,” noted Ahlquist, adding that “the viruses are winning, but in an environment that values fundamental research, we have a much better chance of shifting the balance in our direction.”

Broad-spectrum antivirals are a promising solution to ensure our safety. The broad spectrum approach targets multiple dangerous viruses with one treatment type.
