I mainly study gastrointestinal viruses but also emerging and airborne viruses, often in a global health perspective. Through our studies we want to understand how both virus and host factors mediate susceptibility and severity to an infection. We are furthermore working with different infection models for functional studies to unravel virus-host interactions and pathogenic mechanisms on a molecular level.
