About Us
The repeated, unpredictable threat of emerging viruses is evident in the spread of known viruses, such as dengue virus, and the identification of new viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. The field of viral genomics lies at a critical intersection of clinical, public health, and research efforts since it can guide studies of viral discovery, pathogenicity, treatment, and prevention.
Our lab studies the emergence, evolution, and pathogenesis of viruses of clinical and public health importance. We are currently excited to be investigating Powassan virus, dengue virus, and SARS-CoV-2. We also use metagenomic sequencing to detect and discover unappreciated/novel viruses in patients and vectors.
Our projects combine clinical/translational, laboratory, and computational approaches, and we are delighted to collaborate closely with clinicians and researchers across a wide spectrum of expertise.
