My lab is interested in host-cell-virus interactions. We primarily study mammalian orthoreoviruses. Current projects include: mechanisms of viral compartmentalization and commandeering of the host translational machinery; viral mechanisms of counteracting the innate immune response; ...

We study viruses of animals, focusing on those that have jumped from one host to another. The main subjects of study include the canine parvovirus, which emerged in 1978 to cause a pandemic in ...

To advance our understanding of the relationship between HIV and the human immune system primarily cytotoxic T-cells and natural killer cells.
The main focus of my research program is to elucidate key components in enveloped viruses and their host cells that: 1] mediate viral entry into cells, 2] elicit cell immune responses, and 3] mediate ...
