Symposium

[S24] Research frontiers on viral infection and antiviral therapy: Cross-sectional approach toward drug discovery and development

Sun. Mar 28, 2021 1:15 PM - 3:15 PM [Room H] Oral Presentation H (Online)

Organizer: Iwatani Yasumasa (NHO Nagoya Med. Ctr.), Misumi Shogo (Global Ctr. Natural Resources Sci., Kumamoto Univ.), Tamamura Hirokazu (Inst. Biomat. Bioeng., Tokyo Med. Dent. Univ.)

The rapid global spread of Covid-19 (Coronavirus disease-2019) threatens us in Japan as well as people in the world. The causative pathogen is a new class of coronavirus, known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2). In early 2020, we faced difficulties in diagnostic detection, clinical management and drug therapy for Covid-19. In these situations, various cross-disciplinary information of basic science is needed, especially to develop new therapeutic drugs and vaccines through drug repositioning. Therefore, now is the perfect time to revisit cross-sectional studies on antiviral mechanisms that are common in different virus species. Last year, the “antiviral research frontier” group planned a symposium based on this concept, although the actual lectures were unfortunately canceled. Therefore, we rearranged this session that consists of two major topics: antiviral metal-chelating inhibitors and therapeutic drugs/vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. We hope that the session helps many scientists to discuss widely across different virus species as well as to further develop novel antiviral drugs through cross-disciplinary studies of antiviral mechanisms.
