Le Pen Lab
Our lab focuses on innate immunity to RNA viruses. The genomes of humans and other animals harbor genes that have naturally evolved to combat viral infections and promote health. Our goal is to identify these antiviral strategies shaped by nature and uncover their mechanisms of action.

Meet the alumni who helped build the Le Pen Lab and are now making a difference in science and beyond.
Past Members
Lucas received his BS in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. During his time in the Le Pen Lab he worked on identifying new viral host-pathogen interactions and how these mechanisms are conserved across organisms.
Peter has a BSc in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His scientific interests are viral replication, viral oncology and host-pathogen interactions.
