ABOUT US

Virus Biology Lab focuses on host-RNA virus interactions.  Host- RNA virus interaction influences each other. During infection, viruses modulate the host responses and at the same time host defense mechanisms influence the virus. Understanding the host-pathogen interaction provides critical information regarding RNA virus replication, disease pathophysiology and helps us in developing new targeted therapeutic interventions for viral infection.

The current research group is working on CCCH-type ZFP, especially ZFP36L1 and how it interferes with RNA virus replication or modulates host immune response.
