Apolonia Group We use diverse, integrated techniques and approaches from cell culture, virology, molecular biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics to uncover novel innate inhibitors and dependency factors of HIV, Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, and other viruses.
Fox Group The Fox Group works on combined HIV adolescent prevention and investigating COVID-19 infectiousness and antibody evolution in COVID-19 patients in Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
Galão Lab The Galao Lab studies host/virus interactions, focusing mainly in innate immune responses to infection by RNA viruses.
Martinez-Nunez Group We investigate how mRNA translation is regulated during inflammation and infection responses.
Mischo Lab The Mischo Lab studies how gene expression can be controlled through the modulation of transcription termination.
Padilla-Parra Lab We employ advanced single molecule imaging approaches to understand enveloped virus fusion mechanics. We use a highly interdisciplinary approach that combines, virology, molecular biology, advanced biophysics live cells imaging and single molecule spectroscopy to define virus fusion molecular machines. In particular we investigate a number of enveloped viruses during the first steps of infection (virus entry and fusion) that comprise Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Ebola (EBOV) and SARS Corona viruses (SARS CoV 2).
RNA Biology RNA is at the forefront of biomedical research for its central role in how information is transferred from DNA to protein. This Research Interest Group is open to all interested parties from across the University.
Schurich Group The Schurich Lab studies the function of human T cells, with a focus on T cell metabolism to understand how T cells fuel their extraordinary effector capacity.
