For efficient viral replication, numerous different families of viruses, including Herpesviruses, have evolved the ability to manipulate cellular metabolism. Several […]
Stemming from our mTOR work, we have identified Mnk1/2 (MAPK-interacting kinase 1/2) as an interesting cellular modulator of EBV lytic […]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the Herpesviridae family, is a widespread pathogen that is associated with a variety of […]
As new influenza virus strains emerge, finding new mechanisms to control viral infection is imperative. We have found that we […]
We have successfully utilized Drosophila melanogaster as a model system to identify and study viral protein- host protein interactions. We […]
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.
We’ve been awarded funding through UNCG’s Internal Award program for our research study “Epstein-Barr virus upregulates glycolysis to promote viral […]
