New treatments for MPOX

Summary

More about Dr Timothy Newsome Stay in touch

Mpox outbreaks pose an increasing health risk at the global level. Our current arsenal of antiviral drugs is lacking and despite the availability of vaccines, the current population is largely susceptible and there are significant challenges to widespread vaccination. The aim of this project is to increase the treatment options for MPOX disease.
