Research Interests
Innate immune response acts as the first line of host defense against viral infection. Germ line-encoded pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system recognize pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) derived from invading viruses, which triggers a series of cellular events, leading to the induction of type I interferons (IFNs) and proinflammatory cytokines. Our research is focused on molecular mechanisms of antiviral innate immunity and inflammation.
