new antivirals against the novel SARS Cov2 infections; said Dr. Joshi Jacob, Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta. U.S. He was speaking at the inaugural function of the ‘Eminent Gust Lecture Series’ organised by Department of Biosciences, Mar Thoma Colege, Thiruvalla. With the sudden emergence of the SARS-CoV2 variants and the subsequent global pandemic, the great versatility and potential use of animal-based HDPs as an alternative to conventional antiviral therapy can significantly reduce post COVID complications, Dr. Joshi further added.
The Eminent Guest Lecture Series at Mar Thoma College, Thiruvalla is a bimonthly flagship lecture series which showcases a series of invited lectures from eminent personalities who made outstanding contributions in industry, academia and research.
