Research Interest
Using poliovirus as a model system, the Kirkegaard laboratory has developed a method to decrease the risk of drug-resistance during RNA virus antiviral therapy by targeting dominant drug targets. My goal is to identify equivalent dominant drug targets in hepatitis C virus in order to decrease the risk of drug-resistance during hepatitis C virus antiviral therapy.
