We are exploring interactions between flaviviruses (Yellow fever, Dengue, Zika and West Nile viruses) and their mammalian and arthropod-hosts. On-going projects focus on deciphering mechanisms underlying virus-induced innate immunity and inflammation, using biochemical, virological […]
Virus-host ribonucleoprotein complexes and innate immunity The RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs) play a major role in sensing intracytoplasmic RNA virus infection to initiate and modulate antiviral immunity. These RNA helicases interact with particular signatures of […]
I am a postdoctoral researcher in Virology and Molecular Immunology with a background in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Chemistry. My broad background reflects my natural curiosity and my passion for science. Current project: In humans, […]
