Welcome to the Bates Lab
Our lab is interested in the interactions between viruses and their host cells. We use a combination of molecular, cell biological, and genetic tools to understand how viruses invade host cells and evade host defenses. Generally, we focus on viral glycoproteins and host factors that facilitate infection. Although we work with a number of different viral systems, current projects concentrate on several pathogenic viruses including filoviruses (ebolavirus and Marburgvirus) and bunyaviruses (Hantaan, Andes, Sin Nombre, La Crosse). In addition, we study the intrinsic antiviral factor Tetherin to probe its interaction with ebolavirus glycoproteins and signaling properties.
