“Harmony and Discord: Decoding the Complex Interplay of Host-Virus Interactions”
We are dedicated to unraveling the intricate dynamics that govern the interactions between hosts and viruses, and their profound implications for human health and disease.
Host-virus interactions form a fascinating and complex battleground where the delicate balance between invading viruses and the host immune defenses shapes the outcome of infections. The interplay between a viral pathogen and its host organism involves a myriad of intricate molecular and cellular processes that govern viral entry, replication, immune evasion, and host immune activation. Understanding the underlying mechanisms driving these interactions is paramount for advancing our knowledge of virology and developing effective strategies to combat viral infections.
Our core mission rests on three fundamental pillars:
(1)Investigating the intricate roles of exosomes in viral infection and shedding light on their involvement in viral dissemination, immune regulation, and disease progression
(2)Identifying and characterizing key host factors that restrict viral replication
(3)Identifying viral strategies to manipulate host cellular system to evade immune surveillance
