Research summary/interests
The Aliota lab works with arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). We combine aspects of vector biology, virology, immunology, and molecular genetics to understand how arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) emerge and how they subvert host immune defenses. Our mission is to improve preparation for and response to emerging viruses that threaten animal and human health.
