Analysis of the Characteristics of New Infectious Disease Pathogens to Establish Evidence for Quarantine Response
Development of an integrated algorithm for risk prediction through
- Analysis of pathogen characteristics, including mutation and antiviral resistance analysis, evolutionary patterns, and structural analysis
- Evaluation and establishment of whole genome analysis methods for various respiratory viruses (influenza, RSV, COVID-19, etc.)
Establishment and operation of a risk assessment system for pathogens based on animal experiments and cell culture
- Assessment of human infection risk (infection and transmission potential) using mammalian animal models (mice, ferrets, etc.)
- Understanding immune evasion characteristics through neutralizing antibody analysis via antisera production
- Risk assessment of infectivity and proliferative capacity of cell culture-based pathogens
- Evaluation of the potential for animal-to-human transmission through analysis of the affinity between pathogens and human receptors
