Unlocking the Mysteries of virus-host interactions

Our research aims to understand the concepts and mechanisms which underlie the complexities of cytomegalovirus (CMV) entry and maturation. We have recently started to investigate SARS-CoV-2 entry as well. We use advanced molecular virology techniques and flouorescence/electron microscopy to explore and investigate the specific cellular pathways involved in CMV replication in host cells. Our long-term goal is to identify and characterize the scientific mechanisms specific to CMV entry and maturation. You can click on the specific pages below to learn more.
