Laura Murray-Nerger
Post-doctoral Fellow
Laura joins us following her PhD studies at Princeton, where she studied human cytomegalovirus in the lab of Ileana Cristea. Laura used whole cell proteomic profiling to characterize roles of protein acetylation in host defense and HCMV replication and characterized...
Eshaani Mitra
Postdoctoral Fellow
Eshaani did her doctoral studies in virology with Dr. Haitao Guo at University of Indiana and subsequently at University of Pittsburgh studying Hepatitis B virus (HBV) host/pathogen interactions. Eshaani found that HBV precore protein p22 inhibits alpha interferon signaling by...
Stephanie Yiu
Third Year HMS Virology Graduate Student (G3)

Eric Burton, PhD
Post-doctoral Fellow
Eric Burton received his PhD from Stonybrook University. Eric's doctoral research with Sumita Bhaduri-McIntosh focused on host pathogen interactions that regulate the EBV lytic cycle. Eric identified that EBV exploits several inflammasome sensors to activate the lytic cycle, in particular...
