| Description | This travel grant resulted in the establishment of an international team between the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research, the School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine of the University of Glasgow, and the University of Georgia. Specifically, this team obtained BBSRC-NSF funding to study the adaptation of avian influenza viruses to mammals. |
