Virology

Assistant Professor Kim Roberts

Influenza viruses are highly variable and mutate rapidly, and occasionally novel viruses cross the species barrier. This has the potential to lead to a pandemic, which may pose considerable risk to both healthy and at - risk populations worldwide. Understanding viral replication and fitness are key to assessing the threat posed by a new virus to the global population and influenza virus research is a highly topical and an exciti ng area to work in.
