Gladstone Institutes Hiring Virology The Krogan lab has pioneered a systems biology approach, which combines proteomics and functional genomics to unravel mechanisms of disease and discover novel putative therapeutic targets. Historically, we have successfully applied our approach to infectious diseases to reveal host-pathogen interactions of various pathogens, e.g. HIV, Ebola, Zika, Tuberculosis and recently SARS-CoV-2, to name a few. Our current projects in the virology space include elucidating host-virus networks regulating coronavirus replication and host responses in human and bat cell lines model; characterizing underlying molecular mechanisms of virus pathogenesis for different respiratory viruses including influenza, RSV, parainfluenza virus; and the QCRG Antiviral Drug Discovery (AViDD) program. The AViDD Program is an interdisciplinary program that aims to identify new direct-acting antivirals for SARS-CoV-2 and 19 other viruses.
