Let’s Meet the Virologists Larissa Thackray

We talk with May Wang, a graduate student in the Rasmussen lab at North Carolina State University, who studies the fitness dynamics of plant viruses.

We talk with Dr. Pedro Jiménez, an Assistant Professor in the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, who's lab focuses the ecology of avian influenza in Chile and South America.

We talk with Tyshawn Ferrell, a graduate student in the Neufeldt and Piantadosi labs at Emory University, who studies how previous exposure alters dengue virus evolution.

We talk with Jono Abshier, a graduate student in the Stedman lab at Portland State University, who studies viruses that infect archaea that live in volcanic hotsprings.

We talk with Dr. Rohit Jangra, an assistant professor at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport, who's lab focuses on identifying novel host receptors for hantaviruses.

We talk with Dr. Paul Rivarez, a postdoctoral researcher in the Rasmussen lab at North Carolina State University, who uses genomic epidemiology to define risks that determine the spread of plant viruses.
