Evolution and Genomics of Viruses

Welcome
Our group studies the evolutionary arms-race of viruses and their hosts. We use a highly multidisciplinary approach spanning evolutionary theory, computational biology, and “wet” lab experimental evolution. These are some of the questions we try to answer:
-
How do viruses adapt to constantly changing environments?
-
How does the host immune system keep up?
-
Can we predict the future course of viral evolution?
