Our research is focused on developing molecular movies illustrating how herpesviruses enter cells and how progeny virions get assembled and exit the cells.
To elucidate how defective brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling in the brain leads to diminished appetite control and the emergence of affective disorders.
The goal of our research is to understand, at a molecular level, how HPVs reprogram their infected host cells and how this contributes to cancer formation.
