Molecular Virology Group

The laboratory investigates the biology, pathogenesis, and immunity against flaviviruses, which are responsible for the most important insect-transmitted viral diseases in humans, such as dengue, yellow fever, and viral encephalitis. Our particular emphasis is on studies on flavivirus replication using recombinant DNA approaches, flavivirus virulence and pathogenesis using mouse models of flaviviral disease, and vaccination and therapeutic compounds against flaviviral disease.
