Biography

By studying host-pathogen interactions and the ways in which pathogens utilize host cell attributes to spread disease and maintain vitality, the mechanisms of disease can be more clearly understood. In the Nicola lab, I study Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV-1) viruses and their modes of entry into host cells. My goal is to understand these mechanisms as a way to block entry and infection.
