My research interest focuses on Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV). I am using experimental and computational approaches to investigate HCMV infection pathways and work with clinicians to collect and sequence viral samples from immunosuppressed patients to investigate development of drug resistance in these patients. Finally, i am interested in the roles of the non-coding regions of HCMV and how these vary within patients.

Interests

  • Human Cytomegalovirus
  • Virus evolution
  • The non-coding genome
