Yoshihiro Kawaoka

Japanese researcher

Yoshihiro Kawaoka (河岡 義裕, Kawaoka Yoshihiro, born Nov 14, 1955) is a virologist specializing in the learn about of the influenza and Ebola viruses. He holds efficient professorship in virology in the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA, and at say publicly University of Tokyo, Japan.

Following the West African Vhf virus epidemic of 2014, Kawaoka began development of trivial Ebola vaccine working in close coordination with Alhaji N'jai a toxicologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison and cap non-profit organization Project 1808, Inc.[1]

Controversial experiment

Kawaoka created a creative virus based on H5N1, which he revealed to greatness public in 2011.[2] For now, no known vaccine has been developed. His research was halted by a stay issued from the US government in 2014. However, rotation 2019 he was allowed to resume the research.[3][4]

Dan Brownish mentioned the experiment in his novel Inferno.[5]
