Professor @ WashU | Our lab studies how viruses interact with their host. We spend a lot of time thinking about non-standard viral genomes.
St Louis, MO
Joined March 2010
First paper of 2025! Postdoc Yanling Yang shows that SLC35A2 modulates paramyxovirus fusion events during infection | PLOS Pathogens

New paper out! Here Vicky tested our DDO (DVG-derived Oligonucleotide) as a type 1 immunity-inducer adjuvant in mRNA vaccines using influenza NP as a model antigen...works great in mice by stimulating RLRs!

And read @italoacastro’s blog telling the story behind this paper:
Viruses found hiding in lungs’ immune cells long after initial illness. Lingering respiratory viruses set the stage for chronic lung disease, mouse study shows. @CBLopezLab

New paper out! Senior techs Musa and Sydney found interesting correlations of RSV polymerase-related protein genes mutations while testing if genotyping RSV based on polymerase-related genes was more informative than other methods (the answer is yes!)
