Let's Meet the Virologist Larissa Thackray
Who are virologists and what do they do? Your host, Larissa Thackray, Ph.D., Professor of Infectious Diseases, talks with people who study virology to highlight the diversity of people doing virus research and to discover what inspires them!
Dr. Thackray's own research focuses on developing and utilizing animal models to figure out how interactions between the microbiome and the host determine the outcome of virus infection, as well as to develop antiviral therapeutics and vaccines against emerging viruses. She has studied coronaviruses, flaviviruses, alphaviruses, noroviruses and astroviruses.
