Research Summary
	
	

	
I am interested in investigating the mechanism driving the coordinated assembly of all eight segments of the Influenza virus genome. Specifically, we are examining the RNA-RNA interactions between the viral RNA segments that may facilitate the selective packaging of all eight segments.
