“The single biggest threat to man’s continued dominance on the planet is the virus.”
-Joshua Lederberg
The survival and replication of viruses depends on their ability to control, hijack, and profit from the activity of the host cell. Deciphering the interaction between the virus and the host cell throughout its life cycle is instrumental not only for the identification of novel potential opportunities for antiviral intervention but also for a deeper mechanistic knowledge of the cellular machinery.
We are interested in both aspects: exploring the way viruses interact with host cellular components and improving our understanding of the host pathways involved.
