On-Demand Webinar Registration: Discovering Potential COVID-19 Therapies Using High Content Screening

Fill out the form to the right to register to view the on-demand webinar Discovering Potential COVID-19 Therapies Using High Content Screening.

In this webinar, Professor Jonny Sexton discusses a pipeline, developed in the Sexton lab, for the quantitative high-throughput image-based screening of SARS-CoV-2 infection to identify potential antiviral mechanisms and allow selection of appropriate drug combinations to treat COVID-19. This webinar presents evidence that morphological profiling can robustly identify new potential therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as drugs that potentially worsen COVID-19 outcomes.



In this webinar, you will discover:  

  • The machine learning approaches leveraged by the Sexton Lab to create an assay metric that accurately and robustly identifies features that predict antiviral efficacy and mechanism of action (MOA).
  • Several FDA-approved drugs and clinical candidates with a unique antiviral activity identified using this approach.
  • How lactoferrin inhibits viral entry and replication, enhances antiviral host cell response, and potentiates the effects of remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine.
  • How currently prescribed drugs that exacerbate viral infectivity were also identified.
