Norovirus infection at the Stress Granule-PKR-p-elF2? axis [ 2017 - 2019 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Jason Mackenzie (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Peter White

Brief description This project application will aim to investigate and understand how viruses that cause vomiting and diarrhoea are able to infect, proliferate and spread within the human body. It aims to address how viruses are able to avoid and replicate in the presence of an effective immune response. We have evidence showing that Noroviruses are able to exploit certain antiviral proteins to paradoxically aid in virus replication and survival.
