Dr. Bieniasz’s research on retroviruses and, more recently, coronaviruses aims to understand fundamental mechanisms of viral replication, and host defense by innate and adaptive immune systems. These studies involve the discovery and mechanistic exploration of germ-line encoded host proteins such as tetherin, Mx2, ZAP and others that provide intrinsic defense against viral infection. Elucidating mechanisms and evolution of host defense molecules and how viruses evade or antagonize these host def |
