Emerging viruses: Preparedness and response for viral outbreaks and epidemics
What we do
Our lab works on discovering and characterizing potential new emerging viruses and investigates the transmission, evolution, and virus-host interactions caused by emerging viruses. We combine genomics, data analytics, and experimental virology to provide knowledge and tools to anticipate and prepare for viral outbreaks and epidemics. We are also committed to training the next generation of researchers working on emerging viruses
Our mission
“We generate knowledge and tools that contribute to improved public health and reduce inequalities in populations disproportionately affected by emerging viruses”
