Statement of Research Interest
Our research focuses on exploring two innovative model systems in virology, zebrafish larvae and stem-cell derived organoids as virus infection models with the purpose of illuminating details in their biology. We study host-pathogen interactions and viral mechanisms of pathogenesis, characterize cell tropism, virus dissemination and interactions with the microbiome. The overall goal is to contribute to the design of innovative ways to combat viral infections.
