Speaker Information
Viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to subvert host antiviral defenses and create conditions favorable for their replication. Our work focuses on how viral proteases selectively cleave host proteins that play key roles in innate immune responses. To systematically uncover these virus-host interactions, we have developed a systems biology platform that enables the global identification of proteolytic events during viral infection. We are using this platform to identify host proteins with previously unrecognized antiviral functions, offering new insights into how viruses disarm cellular defense pathways.
