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.
