The Horner Lab

Studying RNA Virus - Host Interactions

RNA Biology, Cell Biology, Antiviral Innate Immunity

 

Welcome to the Horner lab!

The overall goal of our research is to define the virus-host interactions that control the outcome of infection to hepatitis C virus and other Flaviviridae, including dengue virus and Zika virus. We hope to define the molecular mechanisms of how these viruses activate and evade host innate immune defenses, as well as RNA regulatory controls to viral infection and immunity. In particular, we are interested in the cell biological, post-translational, and post-transcriptional controls of innate immunity to RNA virus infection

Our lab is located at Duke University in the School of Medicine in Durham, NC in the Department of Integrative ImmunoBiology. We are members of the Center for RNA Biology, Center for Virology, Center for Host-Microbial Interactions, and Epigenetics & Epigenomics Program.
