Research Interest In order to establish successful infections, viruses
must divert, commandeer, or inhibit cellular
functions to their advantage while concomitantly
avoiding defense responses mounted by host cells.
Our research projects primarily involve the study of
the plant-adapted members of the family
Rhabdoviridae, which contains enveloped viruses
with monopartite, minus-sense, single-stranded
RNA genomes. Our primary research models,
Sonchus yellow net virus (SYNV) and potato yellow
dwarf virus (PYDV) replicate in nuclei of infected
cells. For this reason, we are very interested in
characterization of the nucleome. Additionally, we
are identifying host factors required for rhabdoviral
replication and cell-to-cell movement.
