One of our latest publications highlights Southern Research’s innovative screening approach for identifying new influenza A inhibitors. Dr. Paige Newton Vinson led the high-throughput screening design, Dr. Yohanka Martinez Gzegozewska provided essential assay and compound evaluation support, and Dr. Omar Moukha-Chafiq conducted critical structural and SAR analyses.

Together, they helped identify promising leads for next-generation antiviral therapies.

Southern Research has identified promising antiviral candidates for Influenza A using advanced high-throughput screening methods, published in Antiviral Research.
