Our research focuses on the regulation of influenza virus gene expression by the viral RNA polymerase and the molecular interactions between influenza virus and the host cell. We are interested in understanding the molecular basis of host range restriction and pathogenicity of influenza viruses as well the molecular mechanisms of cellular responses to viral infection.
