Description
Guest Speaker: Andrew Mehle, Professor of Medical Microbiology & Immunology, UW-Madison
Viruses are absolutely dependent on the cells they infect to support replication. Viruses exploit cellular pathways and components, repurpose them, or even imbue new activities to cellular processes, all of which ensures successful infections. At the same time, viruses must evade cellular antiviral defenses. Recent work in the Mehle Lab has focused on the role nucleic acids play at this virus:host interface.
