My lab focuses on Coronavirus replication and pathogenesis. Most relevant to the institute we study viral enzymes that cleave RNA (CoV Endoribonulease U and oligonucelotides (CoV 2’,5’ phosphodiesterases) as well as host ribonuclease L, that restricts viral replication. We also study viral double stranded RNA binding proteins.
