Welcome to the Dewhurst Lab
Our laboratory's major research goals include:
- Understanding the interaction of HIV with glial cells;
- Developing an improved live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV);
- Elucidating the host cell response to infection by viral pathogens (with emphasis on SARS-CoV-2 and Adeno-associated virus, AAV).
