Let’s Meet the Virologists

LMtV Episode 109: Let's meet the ASV Global Scholar Shreya Banerjee

We talk with Shreya Banerjee, a research fellow in the Division of Virology at ICMR-National Institute of Cholera and Enteric Diseases in India, who studies rotavirus-host interactions to develop new antiviral therapies.

LMtV Episode 108: The joy of working with your hands!

We talk with May Wang, a graduate student in the Rasmussen lab at North Carolina State University, who studies the fitness dynamics of plant viruses.

LMtV Episode 107: Birds and bird flu don’t respect borders!

We talk with Dr. Pedro Jiménez, an Assistant Professor in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, who's lab focuses the ecology of avian influenza in Chile and South America.

LMtV Episode 106: It can’t rain forever - just keep going!

We talk with Tyshawn Ferrell, a graduate student in the Neufeldt and Piantadosi labs at Emory University, who studies how previous exposure alters dengue virus evolution.

We talk with Jono Abshier, a graduate student in the Stedman lab at Portland State University, who studies viruses that infect archaea that live in volcanic hotsprings.

LMtV Episode 104: A diversity of hantaviruses and host receptors

We talk with Dr. Rohit Jangra, an assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport, who's lab focuses on identifying novel host receptors for hantaviruses.

LMtV Episode 103: Phylodynamics of plant viruses

We talk with Dr. Paul Rivarez, a postdoctoral researcher in the Rasmussen lab at North Carolina State University, who uses genomic epidemiology to define risks that determine the spread of plant viruses.

LMtV Episode 102: Family can be inspiring too!

We talk with Oluwatola Femi-Olatunji, a master's student in the Hilliard lab at Georgia State University, who is studying the mechanism of action of novel antiviral compound against Zika virus.
