Welcome to the Paul Bates Lab
Since 1992, our lab has studied the interactions between viruses and their host cells at the University of Pennsylvania.
We use a combination of molecular, cell biologic, immunologic, and genetic tools to understand how viruses invade host cells and how they evade or are recognized by host defenses. We also investigate methods and strategies to prevent and control the spread of highly pathogenic viruses that pose a significant threat to public health.
