Toptan Lab

Our research aims to identify viral and host factors that regulate infection, replication, and pathogenesis of pandemic-related RNA and DNA viruses. By combining molecular virology, functional genomics, high-throughput screening technologies, and physiologically relevant infection models, we investigate the mechanisms that govern virus-host interactions and explore host-directed antiviral strategies.
