Research interests

Research area: Our laboratory studies the interaction between the immune system and chronic viral infections. We use a mouse model of gamma-herpesvirus infection to analyze diverse aspects of the immune response. Gamma-herpesviruses are DNA tumor viruses that establish latent infections for the life of the host using multiple immune evasion mechanisms, and are associated with numerous lymphoproliferative diseases. Specifically, we have three areas of research: i) study the role of dendritic cells in the initiation of the immune response and their interaction with the virus, ii) analysis of the T cell immune control and generation of memory, and (iii) analysis of vaccine strategies using dendritic cells as adjuvants.
