Wilhelm Furnon

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Virology, University of Glasgow
Virologist at the MRC – University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, I study viruses and how they interact with host cells during infection. With a particular focus on respiratory infections caused by SARS-CoV-2 and how the capacity to spread in the human airway changes along with the virus evolving. All together, my research projects aim to understand how the virus transmits and the pathogenesis associated with the infection. This to provide further knowledge on respiratory infections informing vaccine design and development of new therapeutics. Thus, paving the way to get better prepared for future pandemics.
