My research team is focusing on exploring the structure, function, and epitranscriptomic regulation of viral coding and non-coding RNAs in the context of different viral systems, e.g., herpesviruses, coronaviruses, pestiviruses, flaviviruses, through national and international collaborations.
My research focuses on defining how conformational aspects of viral non-coding RNAs, i.e. secondary structure, tertiary interactions, post-transcriptional modifications, govern their function in cellular processes and viral pathogenesis, and how RNA structure motifs can function as molecular scaffolds for effector molecules, i.e. other RNAs, DNA, proteins
