Research: I am interested in arenaviral innate immune antagonism and its relationship to pathogenesis. My project uses a combination of bioinformatic and in vitro techniques to investigate the mechanisms of immune modulation and infectious virus production by arenaviral nucleoproteins (NP). This research highlights the significance of NP as a potential antiviral therapeutic target against arenaviral pathogens, such as Junin virus (JUNV) and Lassa virus (LASV).
