Viral Immunology Lab. We aim to understand immunological principles underlying response to viral infections and vaccinations in an effort to develop interventions for immune-associated diseases including infectious diseases and cancer. Zoonotic Virus Lab. We study emerging viruses, focusing on coronaviruses, mosquito-borne flaviviruses (e.g., dengue and Zika viruses), and tick-borne bunyavirus (e.g., SFTS virus). Our ultimate goal is to understand the biology of these viruses and to develop therapeutic interventions (e.g. small molecule inhibitors and therapeutic antibodies).
