Title: “Stochasticity and Heterogeneity during Biphasic Reactivation of Herpesviruses”
Speaker: JJ Miranda, PhD/ Barnard College
Host: Eva Gottwein, PhD, Associate Professor
Topic: Our team studies quantitative aspects of viral gene expression during different stages of the life cycle. A particular emphasis will be placed on the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus and Epstein-Barr virus during reactivation. In the bigger picture, these examples of stochasticity and heterogeneity may yield insights into strategies evolutionarily conserved among a wider array of microbial populations. We will also tell an additional short story about measuring SARS-CoV-2 from dorm toilets.
