In just under four years, we have non-human primate data on a novel Dengue Virus serotype 2 vaccine that looks incredibly promising. With a relatively simple and straight forward design a vaccine candidate was created that yielded very strong neutralizing antibody responses in Green Monkeys, while not generating antibodies that don’t neutralize. This neutralizing vs. non-neutralizing antibody generation is a huge problem in the Dengue field, as non-neutralizing antibodies can lead to a more severe and often fatal form of Dengue Fever, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. While we were hoping to see such a phenomenon based on the seminal work on Sindbis Virus, actually generating the result in a primate model was incredibly exciting. Now we hope to apply the same technology to other insect-transmitted viral diseases that currently have no vaccine or treatment.  " data-original-title=""> Research Interest </a> </nav> </div> </div> </li> <li class="list-group-item px-0"> <div class="row"> <div class="col col-sm-2"> <img src="https://www.longdom.org/admin/editor-photos/virology-mycology-alan-epstein-l-5910.JPG" alt="Alan Epstein L" title="Alan Epstein L" class="img-thumbnail img-fluid" width="100" height="100"> </div> <div class="col col-sm-10"> <p class="card-text font-size-3"> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/editor/alan-epstein-l-9546" title="Click here"><strong>Alan Epstein L</strong></a> <br>Professor, Pathology,Health Sciences Campus <br>University of Southern California, Keck School Faculty, USA </p> <nav class="nav a-mx-2"> <a tabindex="0" class="nav-link btn btn-sm btn-outline-info" role="button" data-html="true" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-placement="auto" data-content="Alan L.

Adenovirus (Ad) offers great promise as a gene therapy vector, but is limited by the strong inflammatory response that is elicited upon introduction of the large amounts of virus necessary to efficiently transduce tissues in vivo. The inflammation appears to be, in part, dependent on the ability of the vector to replicate its DNA to low levels after transduction. Using preterminal protein (pTP)-expressing cell lines that we developed, we have introduced a deletion-mutant allele of the pTP gene into the viral chromosome. Since pTP serves as primer for replication of adenovirus DNA and remains covalently attached to the 5' end of each of the linear viral DNA strands throughout the infectious cycle, the pTP-deletion mutant virus is completely incapable of replication in the absence of complementation. To test the induction of inflammation by adenovirus vectors, we are collaborating with Dr. John Moorhead in the department of Immunology. We inject viruses subdermally in mouse ears, measuring the thickness of the ears immediately prior to and at 24 hr intervals after injection. Adenovirus-induced inflammation in mouse ears is accompanied by edema that correlates well with the level of inflammation (Moorhead et al., 1999; reference below). Edema measurement is sensitive and much more easily measured than inflammation. While Ad vector-induced inflammation is considered normal, the parental virus frequently causes asymptomatic infections, suggesting that Ad vector-induced inflammation may be caused by changes that are introduced into the virus and that Ad vectors can be made to be non-inflammatory. To test this, we constructed viruses containing alleles of the genes normally deleted in the construction of vectors and tested them for induction and inhibition of edema. We demonstrated that a virus containing most of the genes normally deleted in the construction of gene therapy vectors is not inflammatory and in fact, inhibits inflammation induced by the Ad capsid (Schaack et al., 2004; reference below). We are using the system that we have developed to analyze the contribution of various adenovirus gene products as well as foreign genes introduced into the vector to inflammation. A second area of interest concerns the retoviral vector-mediated transduction of the fetus in utero. In collaboration with Drs. Henry Galan, Frank Accurso, Ron Banks, and John Hobbins, we have tested models of in utero gene therapy in macaques and sheep using intra-amniotic introduction of murine retroviral vector producer cells. The producer cells survive for a limited time after injection and produce large amounts of virus vector. The vector is thus exposed to mucosal surfaces of the developing fetus. We have demonstrated that both macaque and sheep amniotic fluid inhibit transduction by vectors produced in a murine producer line and that macaque, but not sheep, amniotic fluid causes rapid destruction of the producer cells (Bennett et al., 2001 and Galan et al., 2002; references below). We plan to test the mechanisms by which amniotic fluid affects foreign cell survival and retroviral vector transducing activity." data-original-title=""> Research Interest </a> </nav> </div> </div> </li> <li class="list-group-item px-0"> <div class="row"> <div class="col col-sm-2"> <img src="https://www.longdom.org/admin/editor-photos/virology-mycology-luis-martinez-sobrido-1207.jpg" alt="Luis Martinez-Sobrido" title="Luis Martinez-Sobrido" class="img-thumbnail img-fluid" width="100" height="100"> </div> <div class="col col-sm-10"> <p class="card-text font-size-3"> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/editor/luis-martinezsobrido-9509" title="Click here"><strong>Luis Martinez-Sobrido</strong></a> <br>Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, School of Medicine and Dentistry <br>University of Rochester, </p> <nav class="nav a-mx-2"> <a tabindex="0" class="nav-link btn btn-sm btn-outline-info" role="button" data-html="true" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-placement="auto" data-content="Dr. Luis Martinez-Sobrido is assistant professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at University of Rochester Medical Center.

I have extensive knowledge in the reverse genetics techniques for rescuing RNA and DNA viruses, pioneered the development of techniques and screening assays to identify viral-encoded interferon antagonist proteins, and established new molecular biology techniques to study highly pathogenic viruses, without the requirement of special biosafety conditions. My major contributions to the infectious diseases field, illustrated by more than 40 publications, include the development of new experimental systems to answer difficult questions in the mechanisms of virus-host interactions, including (among others): 1) Reverse genetics tools to genetically manipulate viruses, that I have used to examine virus-host interactions and development of vaccines. 2) Plasmid, virus and cellular based assays for the identification of virus-encoded IFN-antagonist proteins that I have used to undercover molecular mechanisms involved in viral pathogenesis, including the first description of an IFN antagonist protein in the arenavirus family and the multiple anti-IFN actions of influenza virus NS1. 3) Replication-deficient viruses to study highly pathogenic viruses, without the requirement of special biosafety conditions, for applications of safe vaccine development and discovery of new antivirals. Since my recent tenure-track appointment at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at University of Rochester–one of the 5 NIAID Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS) my research has focused on the interactions of influenza and arenavirus proteins with the host cell.

My master’s was in Microbiology and Public Health with a specialization in viral immunology,involved in development of diagnostics to survey viral diseases of cattle. I was interested in immunology in particular understanding the immune correlates of protection in cattle and sheep vaccinated with genetically engineered recombinant vaccines against Morbillivirus, Rinderpest(RP) and Pest Des Petitis Ruminants (PPR) viruses. I completed my doctoral studies in viral immunology at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, under the direction of an eminent virologist, Prof. M.S. Shaila. During my PhD program I was involved in mapping of functionally important B cell epitopes on the hemagglutinin (H) of RP and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase of PPR viruses. In addition, as a scientist under the leadership of Dr. M. Rajasekhar, at Project Directorate of Animal Disease Monitoring and Surveillance (PD-ADMAS), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), India,I was involved in development of a Brucella LPS-based ELISA kit and development of mAb based internationally-validated ELISA kit for detection of circulating RP-specific antibodies.In 2002, as a postdoctoral fellowjoined the laboratory of Dr. Randy R.

At present we are making use of bacteria based candidate adjuvants to potentiate the efficacy of modified live virus and biodegradable nanoparticle-entrapped inactivated virus vaccines, administered by intranasal route, to protect against genetically variant porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus and influenza virus infections in pigs. We are also aimed to understand host-pathogen interactions, viral pathogenesis, and immune evasion mechanisms at mucosal sites of food animals. Recently, our laboratory has discovered invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell in pigs, and iNKT cell plays a pivotal role in generation of cross-protective immunity against influenza in mice.

HeV and NiV are two members of the genus Henipavirus (family Paramyxoviridea) that cause respiratory illness and encephalitis in humans and a variety of other mammals. The goal of these projects is to understand how these viruses infect the respiratory tract and spread to the central nervous system and to identify differences in routes of transmission and pathogenesis between different HeV and NiV strains. A second area of interest is the development and testing of broadly protective therapeutics. The high mutation rate and heterogeneity of emerging zoonotic viruses is a major problem in developing therapeutics and therefore a key objective is the development of broadly cross-reactive reagents that will maximize the likelihood of protection against unknown future strain variants.  " data-original-title=""> Research Interest </a> </nav> </div> </div> </li> <li class="list-group-item px-0"> <div class="row"> <div class="col col-sm-2"> <img src="https://www.longdom.org/admin/editor-photos/virology-mycology-hossam-m-ashour-6245.JPG" alt="Hossam M Ashour" title="Hossam M Ashour" class="img-thumbnail img-fluid" width="100" height="100"> </div> <div class="col col-sm-10"> <p class="card-text font-size-3"> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/editor/hossam-m-ashour-9547" title="Click here"><strong>Hossam M Ashour</strong></a> <br>Wayne State University, 259 Mack Avenue Suite 4213,Detroit, MI 48201, USA </p> <nav class="nav a-mx-2"> <a tabindex="0" class="nav-link btn btn-sm btn-outline-info" role="button" data-html="true" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-placement="auto" data-content="Appointed as Assistant Lecturer at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, Cairo University.  After spending two years at Cairo University and based on his accomplishments, he was offered a graduate research fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, Texas, USA.

She investigated this area in Alzheimer’s Disease, specifically investigating advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), examining the immune response induced by various types of AGEs. She has  furthered this interest in relation to obesity and Type 2 Diabetes where she investigated post-translational modifications on the anti-inflammatory and insulin sensitizing molecule, adiponectin. This has included examining sialylation and glycosylation. During  PhD,She characterized the molecular pathway involved in the glycosylation of adiponectin. Not only is protein glycosylation important for Diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease, but it is also critical in recognition of infectious organisms.Now conducting research in the area of infectious diseases, specifically investigating the effects of arthritis that is caused by Ross River virus." data-original-title=""> Research Interest </a> </nav> </div> </div> </li> <li class="list-group-item px-0"> <div class="row"> <div class="col col-sm-2"> <img src="https://www.longdom.org/admin/editor-photos/virology--mycology-narayan-chandra-paul-26745.jpg" alt="NARAYAN CHANDRA PAUL" title="NARAYAN CHANDRA PAUL" class="img-thumbnail img-fluid" width="100" height="100"> </div> <div class="col col-sm-10"> <p class="card-text font-size-3"> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/editor/narayan-chandra-paul-9578" title="Click here"><strong>NARAYAN CHANDRA PAUL</strong></a> <br>Research Associate, Bioenergy Crop Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Science <br>Republic of Korea </p> <nav class="nav a-mx-2"> <a tabindex="0" class="nav-link btn btn-sm btn-outline-info" role="button" data-html="true" data-container="body" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-placement="auto" data-content="This is Dr. Narayan Chandra Paul, an Agriculture Scientist-working as a Research Associate at Bioenergy Crop Research Institute, National Institute of Crop Science, Rural Development Administration, Republic of Korea.
