    The influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) is an essential and highly conserved component of the viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complex, where it mediates viral RNA encapsidation and coordinates multiple steps of the viral replication cycle. Despite its essential role, NP remains unexplored as a therapeutic target.

    To identify chemical starting points for structure-based inhibitor design, we...

    Oral presentation

    Zoonotic highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) are endemic in Europe and a threat to poultry but also mammalian health. Control strategies relied on culling of infected birds. The Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/361 enables now the European Union member states to decide for vaccination. However, the impact of a vaccination campaign depends on the successful implementation at farm...

    Oral presentation

    Recent global outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) highlight the need for vaccines that can prevent human transmission. Seqirus’s zoonotic influenza A(H5N8) vaccine (approved in 2024) protects against clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses but requires a booster, which may reduce compliance. Prolonged antigen exposure can strengthen humoral immunity; therefore, sustained antigen release...
