Avian flu viruses which are transmissible between humans could evolve in nature

Research provides insight into feasibility of virus becoming airborne transmissible
It might be possible for human-to-human airborne transmissible avian H5N1
influenza viruses to evolve in nature, new research has found. The findings, from research led by Professor Derek Smith and Dr Colin Russell at the University of Cambridge, were published today, 22 June in the journal Science.

This is fantastic research. I'm conducting a paper on the likelihood a severe mass-scale global pandemic and I need an opinion on the ability of the H1N1 and H5N1 to mutate to become airborne with enough transmissible and virulent attributes to rapidly infect and kill the human host whilst still allowing enough time to pass the infection. Out of curiosity, is this research still continuing?

Thanks for showing us the information to kill the new virus
