Let’s Meet the Virologists

LMtV Episode 61: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Dipanwita Mitra

We talk with Dipanwita (Dipa) Mitra, a graduate student in the Tandon lab at the the University of Mississippi Medical Center, who studies the role of glycosaminoglycans in SARS-CoV-2 and cytomegalovirus entry, as well as peptide-based therapeutics for human cytomegalovirus infection.
 

LMtV Episode 60: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Lisa Bauer

We talk with Dr. Lisa Bauer, a postdoctoral researcher in the Van Riel lab at the Erasmus University Medical Center, who uses pluripotent stem cells differentiated into neurons and astrocytes to study how Influenza A virus and SARS-CoV-2 affect the brain.

LMtV Episode 59: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Judith Reyes Ballista

We talk with Judith Reyes Ballista, a graduate student in the Brindley lab at the University of Georgia, who studies the role of phosphatidylserine in the budding of Vesicular stomatitis virus.

LMtV Episode 58: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Baldeep Khare

We talk with Dr. Baldeep Khare, a postdoctoral research associate in the Kuhn lab at Purdue University, who uses cryo-electron microscopy to study an emerging flavivirus called Usutu virus.

LMtV Episode 57: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Haley Caldwell

We talk with Haley Caldwell, a graduate student in the Ciota lab at the Wadsworth Center and the University of Albany, who studies how viral swarms or quasi-species impact the inter- and intra-host fitness of West Nile virus.

LMtV Episode 56: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Adithya Sridhar

We talk with Dr. Adithya Sridhar, a senior scientist in the Wolthers and Pajkrt labs at Amsterdam University Medical Center, who uses gut, airway and brain organoids to study picornaviruses.

LMtV Episode 55: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Caroline Martin

We talk with Dr. Caroline Martin, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Kielian lab at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, who studies virus-host interactions that mediate alphavirus assembly and egress.

LMtV Episode 54: Let‘s Meet the Virologist Ellen Suder

We talk with Ellen Suder, a graduate student in the Muhlberger lab at Boston University School of Medicine, who studies the virus-specific roles of Marburg and Ebola virus proteins in replication and transcription, and helped perform an antiviral drug testing for SARS-CoV-2.
