Much of our prior and current work focuses on reassortment and recombination – mechanisms by which co-infecting viruses exchange genetic information. In broader terms, we are interested in interactions among co-infecting viruses and the implications of these interactions for the evolution of viral populations. We also have active programs related to influenza A virus escape from humoral immunity, within-host viral diversity, influenza A virus emergence in new host species, viral detection by cytoplasmic dsRNA sensors and factors that determine the efficiency of respiratory virus transmission.
