Research Interests
My primary research focuses on determine the mechanisms of the interaction of some host factors during influenza A virus (IAV) infection. I am particularly interested in the role of the adaptive mutations within the influenza A virus polymerase in conferring species-specific interactions with essential host factors. Three main factors were identified as involved in the polymerase adaptation using high-throughput genetic screen field, and I am currently working on the characterization of these factors. Also, in my research work, I explored the role of non-coding RNAs during IAV infection and I am working on the elucidation of the mechanism behind this phenomenon.
