Our lab focuses on emerging ssRNA+ zoonotic mosquito-borne viruses, such as chikungunya and dengue, which pose growing global health risks. These viruses cause illnesses with symptoms ranging from fever and myalgia to severe encephalitis and chronic arthralgia. We aim to uncover mechanisms by which viruses subvert cellular machineries, identify host factors influencing viral replication and transmission, and deepen our understanding of viral RNA and host interactions, ultimately enhancing preparedness and response to epidemics.
