Dr Mostafa Rateb, University of the West of Scotland
COVID-19 is a recent pandemic that put all nations under a major panic, with many mortalities in 2020 and 2021. Although vaccine development was ongoing, finding treatment that affects the virus would be of great help to combat the viral mutation. Once the pandemic started, we have used our collaborative efforts in UK, Europe, and Middle East to adapt our screening approaches to find a potential antiviral drug candidate from different natural sources. To do so, we have used different in-silico and biology-guided approaches to enhance the discovery process. In this seminar, our most recent discoveries in that regard will be discussed.
