Dr. Umberto Rosani
In our laboratory we are interested in the molecular interplay between viruses and hosts.
We are researching in the field of molecular biology and, by developing high-throughput sequencing approaches, we aim to investigate viral and cellular genomics, transcriptional regulation and RNA modifications.
The VirHoX project has a very clear objective. It will simply exploit what viruses are doing, i.e. hailjacking host cellular machinery, to disentangle their associations with hosts. Our involvement in the VirHoX project as coordinator will challenge us to amalgamate the results of the project’s team into a single tool, and benchmarking it for different combinations of viruses and hosts

Prof. Carrie Bernecky
Our laboratory focuses on understanding the mechanisms of transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of RNA. As part of our research program, we have a strong interest in the RNA-dependent mechanisms by which host organisms protect themselves from pathogens. We apply biochemical approaches to purify and reconstitute protein and protein-RNA complexes. We analyze these complexes using a combination of in vitro biochemistry and cryo-electron microscopy to gain insights into RNA metabolism and gene regulation.
