IN DETAIL
Award winner: Thomas Bowden
Institution: Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Oxford
Molecular and functional basis for bunyaviral attachment and fusion
Mr Bowden will focus on zoonotic viruses that can cross the species barrier. Looking in particular at Rift Valley and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever viruses, he will examine how they target receptor molecules present on the cell surface to aid in the development of antivirals.
