Epstein-Barr virus lytic replication and the mTOR pathway
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is a widespread pathogen that is associated with a variety of diseases, including…
Epstein-Barr virus and organophosphates – A synergistic effect in B cells?
There have been several studies investigating interactions between pesticide exposure (specifically organochlorines, organohalogens, dioxins, and dibenzofurans), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and EBV antibody titres…
Link between Influenza A virus infection and glucose metabolism
As new influenza virus strains emerge, finding new mechanisms to control viral infection is imperative. We have found that we can control…
Drosophila as a model system for viral protein function and interactions
We have successfully utilized Drosophila melanogaster as a model system to identify and study viral protein- host protein interactions. We have studied…
Welcome
My research group is focused on intracellular virus-host interactions. We study how viruses affect cell biology at the molecular scale ~ most often viral protein-cell protein interactions and consequences. We are currently studying the ubiquitous Epstein-Barr and Influenza A viruses. Please see the research links above for our current lines of research.
