The McCullough Foundation, led by Dr. Peter McCullough, shared on X that this funding, directed to UW-Madison and principal investigator Yoshihiro Kawaoka, involves modifying H5N1, potentially using gain-of-function techniques.

The experiments hope to ensure bird flu “preferentially recognizes human-type receptors and transmits efficiently in mammals.”
