I have been researching RNA viruses, such as enterovirus A71 and influenza viruses for many years, especially focusing on virus-host interaction and antiviral developments. My team has achieved important milestones, such as developing small molecules and botanic drugs that successfully inhibit several RNA viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. I have published these findings in prestigious journals such as Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., J. Antimicrob. Chemother., J. Biol. Chem., J. Med. Chem., Antiviral Res., Emerg. Microbes Infect., and J. Virol.
- Antiviral development
- Antiviral assays in vitro and in vivo

Job Description
Many of these medicinal plants are rare, rarely used, or have not yet been introduced in Taiwan, and most have not been previously investigated for their anti-influenza activities. In this project, I will lead the virology-related experiments, while our Vietnamese collaborators will contribute expertise in machine learning applications, provide medicinal plant resources, and conduct chemical characterization of bioactive compounds.
