Research on emerging respiratory viral
infections
How would you describe your lab in one word?
We aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of infection by influenza virus
and SARS-CoV-2, focusing on how these viruses interact with host cells,
replicate, and trigger innate immune responses, inflammation, and tissuedamage. Through an interdisciplinary approach, we try to understand virus-
induced modification in GTP-related metabolism and contribute to the
development of novel strategies for controlling viral infections.
