BSc: National Taras Shevchenko University, Kyiv, Ukraine
PhD: State University of New York at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
Postdoctoral Training: Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS

Research interests

We study virus-host interactions with a focus on intrinsic cell defense mechanisms and their subversion by influenza viruses. Another area of interest in the lab is the biology of stress granules – cytoplasmic foci of messenger RNA-protein complexes that form in response to various types of stress, including viral infections
