Our research focuses on the cell biology of virus infection. Viruses have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to invade host cells and reprogram them into platforms for progeny production. To achieve productive infection, they exploit diverse cellular factors and pathways at every stage of their replication cycle. Our laboratory investigates the molecular interactions between host cells and clinically relevant viruses, including influenza A virus, SARS-CoV-2, and dengue virus. By uncovering previously uncharacterized virus–host interactions, we seek to advance mechanistic understanding of viral infection and identify novel targets for antiviral intervention.
