Our long-term goal is the identification and characterization of the interactions of viruses with their host cells. Our current model systems include Sandfly viruses, Zika and Dengue viruses, and Hepatitis viruses.
Current projects in the lab include:
- CRISPR screens for or the identification and characterization of new interactions between viruses and host cells.
- Using live-cell imaging techniques to study viral-host interactions.
- Identification of the mechanism of action of antiviral interferon-stimulated genes.
