VIGILANT theme highlighted by Stefan Pöhlmann at the 11th European Meeting on Viral Zoonoses (Saint-Raphaël, Sept 20–23, 2025). Focus: how Sec61 targeting disrupts filovirus glycoprotein function and infectivity. #ViralZoonoses #EMVZ #SaintRaphael

MEET THE VIGILANT TEAM We are interviewing the staff at Project Vigilant to introduce them to you! Meet Andrea Marzi Chief of the Immunobiology & Molecular Virology Section, Laboratory of Virology, DIR, NIAID National Institutes of Health Rocky Mountain Laboratories

Ebola poses a serious global threat. We hope for swift containment and are committed to research for future prevention.

1/ The protease furin activates dangerous viruses like H5N1. But since it has many close relatives, specifically targeting furin is a huge challenge. #Virology #DrugDiscovery

VIGILANT public outreach at the Night of Science in Göttingen — sharing perspectives on broad-spectrum antivirals and pandemic preparedness. Thanks to all who stopped by and joined the conversation! #VIGILANT #snpoehlm #NightOfScience #Göttingen

VIGILANT partners Eva Böttcher-Friebertshäuser and Torsten Steinmetzer will be hosting an online virology conference this week: “Nucleophilic Proteases: Structure, Function, Regulation, and Disease” - www.asbmb.org/meetings-events/nucleophilic-proteases Registrations close 18th June. See you there!

As part of Göttingen’s 7th Night of Knowledge (www.goettinger-nacht-des-wissens.de), the Infection Biology Unit at the German Primate Centre (@primatenzentrum.bsky.social) and @snpoehlm.bsky.social will present VIGILANT – our approach to developing broad-spectrum antivirals. See you there!
