Brief description Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a human pathogen that infects over 60% of the adult population, and is a major cause of birth defects causing permanent hearing and vision loss, and mental retardation. To investigate the critical involvement of host epigenetic factors, I will study the roles of sirtuins during HCMV infection. Through proteomic, genomic, microscopy, and bioinformatic techniques, I aim to further our understanding of viral pathogenesis, towards developing novel therapies.
