Current Research
Research in my lab focuses on understanding the molecular basis of virus-cell interactions. Viruses need to interact with many host factors and regulate several host signalling pathways to complete a replication cycle. Current research focuses on the discovery of novel host factors and signalling pathways involved in the replication and pathogenesis of influenza A virus and vaccinia virus.
