Richard Plemper is Regents' Professor and Director of the Center for Translational Antiviral Research at Georgia State University, leading one of nine national AViDD centers for pandemic preparedness.
His research develops next-generation antivirals against RNA viruses like SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and RSV, with emphasis on overcoming drug resistance. Notable contributions include pioneering work on molnupiravir and novel nucleoside analogs.
Plemper's group employs ferret and hamster models to examine viral transmission dynamics and therapeutic windows. Recent work focuses on combination therapies against co-infections and variant-specific treatment efficacy.
He directs federal programs advancing antiviral countermeasures against emerging viral threats.
