Our Research Mission
IVMT conducts world-leading research at the intersection of virology, metabolism, and therapeutic development. Our integrated approach combines cutting-edge computational methods with rigorous experimental validation to understand how viruses hijack host metabolism and to develop novel treatments.
Our research spans the full trajectory of viral disease—from acute infection through to post-viral syndromes like Long COVID and ME/CFS. By understanding the metabolic perturbations that viruses induce, we can identify new therapeutic targets and develop treatments that address both the infection itself and its long-term consequences.
Research Philosophy
We believe that transformative discoveries emerge at the boundaries between disciplines. IVMT integrates expertise in:
- Virology — Understanding viral life cycles and pathogenesis
- Metabolism — Mapping metabolic changes during and after infection
- Computational Biology — AI-driven drug discovery and systems modeling
- Clinical Science — Translating discoveries to patient benefit
