Virology Lectures 2021 #20 - Antivirals

Описание: Antiviral drugs can stop an infection after it has started. In this lecture we discuss antiviral drug discovery, how some currently licensed compounds block different steps of the viral reproduction cycle, and the origin and mechanisms of drug resistance. You will also find out why hydroxychloroquine failed for treatment of COVID-19 and what other antivirals have been tested.

– Who Am I? –

I’m Vincent Racaniello, Earth’s Virology Professor.

I’m also a professor of virology at Columbia University in New York. I’ve been doing research on viruses since 1976, and teaching virology in classrooms and online since 1999. On this YouTube channel I share videos of my lectures, podcasts, and more.

New videos are uploaded every Thursday and Sunday mornings.

I don’t monetize my videos because it’s disruptive to learning. If you would like to support our work, go over to https://www.microbe.tv/contribute/
