Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our laboratory studies virus-host interactions with an emphasis microRNA-mediated gene regulation and on translational control. The mechanism by which a liver-specific microRNA regulates hepatitis C virus genome replication is under intense scrutiny. In addition, the mechanism of internal ribosome entry in certain cellular and viral mRNAs and its biological role in growth and development is being investigated.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests We study innate immunity and microbial pathogenesis. We have been studying models for a variety of bacterial infections including: Listeria, Mycobacteria, Salmonella and Streptococcus as well as some fungi, malaria and viruses. Our current focus is to determine how we recover from infections.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests When dengue virus is transmitted from mosquitoes to humans, it begins to accumulate mutations that favour replication in human cells. We hypothesize that the different clonal variants of dengue that arise in mosquitoes and humans differ in their structure and in their interaction with host proteins. My interest is to study these differences in infected mammalian and mosquito cells, providing useful insights into viral adaptation and immunomodulatory strategies.

Robert Siegel
Professor (Teaching) of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My work is primarily involved in medical education and curricular development, especially in the areas of infectious disease, virology, HIV, and molecular biology. Projects included electronic applications to science education, three dimensional model building, service learning, and the development of undergraduate research projects.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests Our lab elucidates the molecular basis of pathogenesis of the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica. We use genetic and genomic approaches to identify novel virulence determinants and to characterize the global epidemiology of the parasite.
