My research aims to understand the intricate interplay between viruses and their plant hosts during infection, as well as the engineering of viruses as nanoparticle-based vaccines and therapeutics.

Interests

• Viral nanoparticle display of peptides and proteins as vaccine candidates and therapeutics 
• Using high-throughput NGS technologies to study viral pathogenomics
• Recombination and evolution of RNA viruses 
• Mechanisms of plant resistance to viral infections and resistance-breaking by RNA viruses
• Gene expression and replication of RNA and DNA viruses
