Are antivirals less important than vaccines?
Myth / Reality / Both / Not sure
#AVITHRAPID #Poll

Building capacity today for the crises of tomorrow. 🏗️

AVITHRAPID is strengthening Europe’s ability to deploy antiviral solutions responsibly. Sustainable preparedness is an investment, not a reaction.

How should we measure success: outcomes achieved, or capacity built? ⚖️

#AVITHRAPID

Our researchers are working across Europe to ensure that the next time a virus strikes, we have the antiviral tools ready to protect people across the globe-fast. 🧬✨

Science in service of humanity. 🤝

#WorldHealthDay #PublicHealth #ScienceSky #HealthEquity #AVITHRAPID

It’s #WorldHealthDay! 🩺 Today we celebrate the idea that everyone deserves access to life-saving care.

In the #AVITHRAPID project, we believe that pandemic preparedness is a cornerstone of health equity.

AVITHRAPID Highlights

Last week in Naples, Prof. Vincenzo Summa (Federico II) presented our latest research at the "Italo-French Chair" Final Workshop!

Key focuses:
🔹 PLpro Target progress
🔹 Dengue Clinical Trial updates

From discovery to clinical readiness-by design. 🧬

AVITHRAPID connects preclinical discovery, validation, and data management to bridge the ""valley of death"" in antiviral R&D. Integration is a necessity.

Where do you see the biggest translational gaps in research? 🕳️🏃‍♂️

#ScienceSky

AVITHRAPID uses an ethical-by-design approach to ensure we are operationally ready for rapid action. Preparedness is built before recruitment begins.

Pandemic preparedness starts long before an outbreak. 🛡️

AVITHRAPID builds the scientific foundations and workflows needed to respond to viral threats with rigor, not just speed.

What’s the most underestimated part of preparedness: Speed, Coordination, or Scientific Readiness? 🧬

AVITHRAPID at SCA26 (Japan): HPC in focus 🇯🇵💻

Our poster shows how HPC enables scalable virtual screening for drug discovery.

Featuring: Federated HPC access - LEXIS workflow orchestration - Simplified screening interfaces

Advanced digital infra = readiness for antiviral research.

"Pandemic preparedness isn’t only about breakthroughs in the lab.
It’s also about coordination, trust, and shared ways of working across borders.

Much of this work happens quietly-but it’s essential.

#PandemicPreparedness #GlobalHealth

Question for the community:
What do you think is the most critical challenge for pandemic preparedness in the coming years?

Is it faster antiviral development, better data and surveillance, stronger cross-border collaboration, or more resilient health systems?

#PandemicPreparedness #GlobalHealth

14 Jan - #WorldLogicDay
Logic drives AI, modelling and antiviral discovery.
At #AVITHRAPID, it powers prediction, screening and preparedness.
Strong science = strong reasoning.

What does “pandemic preparedness” actually mean?

It’s more than emergency response.
Preparedness happens before a crisis - through research, coordination, and systems designed to act fast when needed.

It’s an ongoing process, not a single moment.
#PandemicPreparedness #GlobalHealth

AVITHRAPID enters 2026 with renewed momentum.
This year we’ll accelerate small-molecule discovery, expand AI-driven screening, strengthen EU collaborations, and advance tools for faster pandemic preparedness.

Epidemic = local surge.
Pandemic = global spread.

Severity isn’t what defines a pandemic - reach does.
COVID-19 proved how fast that jump can happen.
