Host metabolism and responses contributing to flavivirus replication and pathogenesis [ 2015 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Jason Mackenzie (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Paul Young

Brief description We aim to determine how viruses affect the cells they infect, In particular how they can alter the metabolism and balance of lipids in cells and how this impacts the bodies capability to respond immunologically. We believe that by understanding these basic principles we can target ares fr antiviral therapeutic potential.
