Let’s Meet the Virologists

LMtV Episode 77: Let’s Meet the Virologist Joanna Sztuba-Solinska

We talk with Dr. Joanna Sztuba-Solinska, an assistant professor at Auburn University, who is studying structure, function, and regulation of viral RNAs.

LMtV Episode 76: Let’s Meet the Virologist John Dzimianski

We talk with Dr. John Dzimianski, a postdoctoral associate in the Dubois lab at the University of California Santa Cruz, who uses structural biology to study epitopes on the hemagglutinin glycoprotein of diverse influenza viruses in order to predict vaccine efficacy.

LMtV Episode 75: Let’s Meet the Virologist Alberto Lopez-Munoz

We talk with Alberto Lopez-Munoz, a a postdoctoral fellow in the Yewdell lab at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who studies immunomodulation by SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein.

LMtV Episode 74: Let’s Meet the Virologist Amy Davis

We talk with Amy Davis, a graduate student in the Schultz-Cherry lab at St Jude Children's Research Hospital, who studies astrovirus infection of the central nervous system.

LMtV Episode 73: Let’s Meet the Virologist Grant Butschek

We talk with Grant Butschek, a graduate student in the Pekosz lab at Johns Hopkins University, who is studying how temperature differences in the upper and lower respiratory tract alter virus infection.

LMtV Episode 72: Let’s Meet the Virologist Hannah Wallace

We talk with Hannah Wallace, a graduate student in the Russell lab at Memorial University in St John's, who is investigating how Hepatitis C virus induces pyroptosis.

LMtV Episode 71: Let’s Meet the Virologist Jonathan Joyce

We talk with Jonathan Joyce, a graduate student in the Bertke lab at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, who is investigating how SARS-CoV-2 infects the nervous system.

LMtV Episode 70: Let’s Meet the Virologist Ashish Srivastava

We talk with Dr. Ashish Srivastava, a faculty member at Amity Institute of Virology and Immunology in India, who uses CRISPR-Cas detection and nanopore sequencing technologies to identify and characterize known and novel viruses that affect plant crops.
