Animal infections occur when an agent invades a host animal's tissues where it replicates and releases toxins causing disease. Some animal infections, known as zoonotic diseases, can be transferred to humans.
CRISPR-based forward genetic screens can be used to identify essential genes in proliferating human cell lines. Although environmental factors also influence gene essentiality, most CRISPR-b...

SARS-CoV-2 spreads through airborne transmission. Aerosols containing live virus are dispersed when an infected person exhales and then continue to accumulate indoors, putting others at risk...
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Evidence supports t...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased awareness about sex-specific differences in immunity and outcomes following respiratory virus infections. Strong evidence of a male bias in acute...
At the end of 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in China. As of September 2022, SARS-CoV...

Influenza viruses represent a significant burden to human health. In order to limit respiratory viral disease, new approaches that can prevent viral infection and spread are needed. We have...
Innate and adaptive immunity mechanisms provide antiviral protection in mammals. In this talk, I shall present recent findings from my lab and collaborators revealing a distinct form of mamm...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explore the neuroinvasive potential of SARS-CoV-2 2. Learn about possible consequences of neuroinvasion of SARS-CoV-2 3. Identify neuroimmune responses against SARS-C...
Several age-related neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the deposition of aberrantly folded proteins. The histopathological hallmark of synucleinopathies is the deposition of ɑ-...
Handling laboratory animals can stimulate stress and anxiety that negatively impacts animal welfare and introduces a substantial confounding factor in many areas of scientific research. Howe...
This drug development program is designed to create a family of broad-spectrum, pan-coronaviral drugs that respectively inhibit multiple key enzymes required for viral replication. By target...
