Funded Activity Summary

This project aims to improve the medical management of people infected with Hendra virus by defining potential therapeutic windows for treatment with antiviral strategies. The project involves the study of microRNAs, a class of small ribonucleic acid molecules that regulate biological processes in eukaryotes. We will determine the role of microRNAs in the Hendra virus infection process in humans, and their application as diagnostic markers of Hendra virus infection.
