Novel anti-viral drugs

RNA viruses are major pathogens affecting the lives of millions worldwide . Our primary goal is to better understand the interactions of these pathogens with their host cells using RNA viruses from different families as models . We employ genome -wide genetic screens to identify mechanisms underlying .

innate host defenses and understand how some of these viruses overcome them We hope that a better understanding of these molecular mechanisms will contribute to the identification of novel antiviral drugs .
