Certain compounds may block coronavirus from cells, BOB体育 researcher finds
Computer simulations run by a University of Florida Health researcher have shown that three compounds appear to have the potential to block cells from being infected by the novel coronavirus COVID-19.
The next step involves validation of the findings by David A. Ostrov, Ph.D., an associate professor in the UF College of Medicine鈥檚 department of pathology, immunology & laboratory medicine and the Targeted Therapeutics Program leader at the BOB体育 Cancer Center.
The simulations were run at the request of the Global Virus Network, an international group of scientists who are working together to combat viral disease.
