Immunopathology and infectious disease pathogenesis of alphaviruses in rodent, equine, and non-human primate animal models.
Dr. Aguilar Patricia V. Aguilar, Ph.D.
My main research interest is to better understand the mechanisms that enable emerging viruses to evade host immune responses and cause disease, and to identify cellular factors that contribute to viral infection.
Dr. Barrett Alan Barrett, Ph.D.
Molecular basis of attenuation, virulence, and immunogenicity of flaviviruses
Dr. Bukreyev Alexander A. Bukreyev, Ph.D.
Filoviruses Ebola and Marburg, the H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses, vectored vaccines, mucosal immunization, immuno-pathogenesis, immune response, reverse genetics.
Dr. Freiberg Alexander N. Freiberg, Ph.D.
One main research interest is in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which emerging RNA viruses cause encephalitis and hemorrhagic fever diseases.
Dr. Fulhorst Charles F. Fulhorst, D.V.M., Dr.P.H.
Epidemiology and ecology of rodent-borne hantaviruses and arenaviruses.
Dr. Gelman Benjamin B. Gelman, M.D., Ph.D.
Mechanisms of HIV- and AIDS-associated neurocognitive, neuropathic, and myelopathic changes.
Dr. Ikegami Tetsuro Ikegami, Ph.D.
Our lab uses a well-established reverse genetics system of RVFV MP-12, and currently studies on the immunological significance of MP-12 NSs as a vaccine, as well as the detailed mechanisms of RVFV NSs multifunctions.
Dr. Murphy Frederick A. Murphy, Ph.D.
The virology, pathology and epidemiology of highly pathogenic viruses/viral diseases
