Research Interests:
My research interests are in two main areas. The first is in the study of respiratory viruses, including their epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. My second area of interest is in enteric viruses and environmental virology, with a special emphasis on noroviruses. We use Norwalk virus as a model virus for our studies, both in the laboratory and in an experimental human infection model. I am interested in the development and application of diagnostic approaches to detect enteric viral pathogens in waters, shellfish, and other foods.
