Area: Ahlquist Lab

As part of the Ahlquist Lab, I study how RNA viruses replicate by assembling specialized structures inside host cells. These replication complexes are crucial for the virus to multiply, and

I study viral genome replication by using molecular and cellular biology and biochemistry techniques.
