Research interests
Virus particles are vehicles that transmit infection from cell to cell and from host to host. For viruses that are membrane-enveloped, particles are formed by budding. Buds emerge from selected sites on cellular membranes, then pinch off and are released. Prior to budding, different viral components assemble together in a coordinated way and concentrate at budding sites. This assembly process allows for the release of particles that are likely to be infectious, as they are densely packed with viral proteins and contain viral genomes. My research group studies assembly and budding of the paramyxoviruses. These enveloped RNA viruses include a number of important human and animal pathogens that impact human health and agriculture worldwide, including measles virus, mumps virus, Newcastle disease virus, and the zoonotic Nipah and Hendra viruses.
