Description:

Title: Ub or Not Ub, STAT is the Question: Tales of Virus Host Interactions

Speaker: Curt Horvath, PhD, Professor, Dept. of Molecular Biosciences, Northwestern University

Research:

The Horvath Lab studies cytokine signal transduction and gene regulation during the human cellular response to virus infections and cancer.  Research projects use molecular and biochemical approaches to study the mechanisms underlying cellular recognition of and response to RNA viruses, and the evolution of virus-encoded immune evasion strategies.  Gene-specific and genome-wide mechanisms that control transcriptional responses that occur in the infected cell, or during neoplastic transformation, are being investigated.
