Regulation of Gene Expression during Viral Infection – Gerald McInerney Group

Our research concerns the study of the interactions between viruses and their host cells in the early stages of infection. Using Semliki Forest virus as a model, we are exploring the involvement of cellular pathways such as autophagy, stress granules and the type I interferon system in the cellular responses to viral infection.
