Research interests
We study influenza viruses and coronaviruses. Our main focus is on viral regulation of host gene expression and how it influences viral replication and effectiveness of innate and adaptive immune responses. Research themes in the lab also include generation of viruses for clinical trials as infectious challenge material or live attenuated vaccine platforms, and the study of cellular stress responses.
