Madhu Khanna 

Summary

As the head of the virology department for the past 19 years, my research has been primarily focused on viral pathogenesis, the development of novel antiviral strategies, and vaccine delivery approaches against emerging and re-emerging viral infections, which include influenza, dengue, chikungunya, and SARS-CoV-2. One of my primary responsibilities is to provide accurate diagnoses of respiratory viruses in clinical specimens from both outpatients and inpatients at our institute. Our laboratory has been designated by the ICMR as a centre for COVID-19 and influenza virus diagnosis. Our recent achievements include the development of a peptide immunogen against the dengue virus and also designed an engineered virus against the influenza virus using antiviral elements such as si-RNA, ribozyme, and antiviral peptides to inhibit the viral replication. My PhD students are also working on liposome-based RNA vaccine delivery and targeted engineered exosomes mediated delivery in dendritic cells as vaccine candidate against influenza virus. Our laboratory has successfully generated recombinant antibodies against the HA gene of the influenza virus. These antibodies have shown effectiveness in neutralizing the H1N1 strain of influenza virus, thereby demonstrating their potential for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Our group has also explored plant-based antiviral remedies. For instance, we have evaluated the antiviral activity of plant extracts like Ajwain and Suramin against influenza A virus replication. Additionally, we have tested Quercetin, a plant polyphenol, which decreased virus-induced oxidative stress and protected lungs against oxygen-derived free radicals.

Our team ultimate aim is to improve prevention strategies, diagnostic techniques, treatment methods, and control measures for viral diseases that pose significant threats to human health and well-being.
