My service interests include the utilization and development of advanced molecular biology techniques to identify and characterize established, emerging and novel animal viruses.
My other research interest is developing novel vaccines for animal health. Using reverse genetics, we are able to genetically engineer viruses such as influenza virus, allowing us to attenuate pathogenicity while maintaining immunogenicity. Our long term goal is to generate efficacious platform vaccine technologies which can be used for multiple pathogens.
