Researchers develop virus live stream to study virus infection

Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute and Utrecht University have developed an advanced technique to monitor a virus infection live. The researchers from the groups of Marvin Tanenbaum and Frank van Kuppeveld expect that the technique can be used to study a wide variety of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2—the virus responsible for the current pandemic. The technique named VIRIM (virus infection real-time imaging) is therefore very valuable for gaining insights in virus infection in the human body. Eventually, this could lead to more targeted treatments for viral infection. The results were published in the scientific journal Cell on the 13th of November.
