Penn State researchers will study the monkeypox virus to understand the potential for it to spill over from humans to animals, as well as its pathogenesis — or disease development — in animal and human cells in vitro. In addition, they will study potential targets for therapeutics to treat the monkeypox disease. Credit: Getty Images | kontekbrothers. All Rights Reserved.
