Research Description

Human Noroviruses (HuNov) in the family Caliciviridae, cause the majority of all non-bacterial gastroenteritis.  We are interested in a related virus animal model, the Murine Norovirus (MNV-1), to understand the mechanisms of virus entry in the intestinal tractby particularlytrying to find receptors present on the cell surface. I am currently working with a tissue culture model that mimics the intestinal epithelial monolayer of the gastrointestinal tract, to better understand how the virus breaches this barrier.
