The focus of my current studies is to understand genetic and mechanistic basis of viral disease susceptibility. The objectives of the research are to identify genes, genetic variants, and molecular pathways that explain the variation in susceptibility to Porcine Circovirus 2 and other swine viruses. We integrate refined-molecular phenotypes that define disease status, with large-scale genotyping, host and viral genome sequencing and infection models, to uncover genetic causality of susceptibility to infectious diseases.
