Virus-Infektionen sind bei Kindern und Erwachsenen ein häufiges Krankheitsbild. Gar nicht so selten kommt es dabei zu einer Lungenentzündung oder im schlimmsten Fall zu lebensbedrohlichem akutem Lungenversagen. Wirksame Therapien fehlen bislang. Ein Team um die Gießener Professorin Susanne Herold wird ab sofort an der Erforschung der Krankheit und der Entwicklung neuer Diagnostik- und Behandlungsmethoden arbeiten – mithilfe von 4,3 Millionen Euro der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft
