The Division of Virology does active research in all these areas.
Next to the development of innovative conepts for anti-viral therapy, the field of virology faces currently one great challenge: the development of a vaccine against HIV/AIDS. So far, conventional strategies did not succeed in generating an effective reagent. Thus, we set out to apply a novel approach: we are trying to exploit mechanisms of the innate immune system to induce a more potent anti-viral immune response and/or construct modern recombinant RNA viruses for the development of a highly attenuated vaccine.
