Portland, Oregon Area

• Research focus: using gene-editing and molecular biology (qPCR / RNA-seq) to determine the mechanism of action for small molecule agonists of type I interferon (Gall, J. Virol., 2018; Gall, Methods Mol Biol., 2017.
• Using genome-editing and deep-sequencing to characterize the molecular signaling pathways activated by individual Interferon Regulatory Factor (IRF) transcription factors.
• Employing molecular genetics/genomics to identify of how genetic haplotypes of STING affect responses to these therapeutic small molecules.
• Characterization of these drugs for disease-specific therapeutic benefits using molecular biology techniques in cell lines and primary cells, gene editing technology, and in vivo modeling. This work has resulted in two.
