Our research interests are in the broad area of virus-host interactions. The immune response has several strategies to combat infectious disease. These include innate and adaptive components, all of which are regulated by a network of critically important cellular interactions and soluble mediators. Interestingly, however, the effector mechanisms that are generated to control and clear virus instead often cause immunopathology that has serious, sometimes lethal, consequences for the host. The objective is to modulate the response in order to direct the outcome towards efficient virus clearance and to minimize pathology. For this, a clear understanding of the host's response to a virus infection is essential.
