BIO
We aim to understand the fundamental virus-host interactions underpinning the critical earliest stages in infection by large complex DNA viruses, focusing on herpes simplex virus as a model system. We are particularly interested in two key areas; firstly, mechanisms of early genome entry and nuclear transport; secondly the competing interactions with the host transcription machinery versus innate immune restriction mechanisms. We are currently pioneering methods combining molecular and cell biology with click-chemistry to study these processes and the single cell and single molecule levels.
