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.
Our lab has students presenting this Spring at the Thomas Undergraduate Research and Creativity Expo and at the Graduate School’s […]
