Our collaborative study, led by Hsiang-Chi and done together with A. Sarshad´s lab is published in Nucleic Acid Research.
The work identifies NS1 protein of Influenza A virus as a key regulation in downregulating innate immunity by inducing AGO2 nuclear translocation to silence interferon and interferon related genes

Nimitha has posted a preprint on Nasal Tissue Resident CD4 T cells and their role after influenza infection
Laura has posted a preprint on computationally designed vaccines for influenza protection
Hsiang-Chi has posted a preprint on the role of nuclear RNA interference in antiviral immunity
