Let’s Meet the Virologists

LMtV Episode 123: Animal models to study new vaccines and treatments for flavivirus

We talk with Chinonye Dim, a graduate student at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, who characterizes more accessible animal models to develop new vaccines and therapeutics against flaviviruses.

LMtV Episode 122: Investigating the role of metabolism in virus infection

We talk with Hatoon Baazim, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, who studies the role of systemic and cellular metabolism in virus infection.
 

LMtV Episode 121: Using gnotobiotic pigs to study enteric virus vaccines

We talk with with Charlotte Nyblade, a DVM/PhD student at the Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA, who used gnotobiotic pig models to study vaccine-mediated immunity and protection against enteric viruses.

LMtV Episode 120: Developing computational methods to predict virus evolution

We talk with Stephanie Goya , a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, who uses genomic approaches to understand and predict the evolution of respiratory viruses such as RSV.

LMtV Episode 119: Investigating behavioral outcomes of subclinical HSV infections

We talk with Roberto Alers-Velazquez, a postdoc at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, NH, who studies how subclinical herpes simplex virus infections can impair memory and behavior.

LMtV Episode 118: Developing novel inhibitors to combat emerging alphaviruses

We talk with Abdullahi Jamiu, a graduate student at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, VA, who studies how encephalitic alphaviruses modulate cellular transcription and antiviral responses to discover novel therapeutic targets.

LMtV Episode 117: Searching for new antiviral compounds derived from botanical sources

We talk with David James, a Naturopathic Medicine student at Sonoran University in Tempe, AZ, who investigates the antiviral efficacy of botanical compounds.

LMtV Episode 116: Let's meet the ASV Global Scholar Katherine Calderon Mayo

We talk with Katherine Calderon Mayo, a graduate student at the National University of San Marcos in Peru, who develops virus vectored vaccines against avian diseases.
