Dr. Martinez-Sobrido’s lab is interested in the molecular biology, immunology, and pathogenesis of negative-strand and positive-strand RNA, and DNA viruses. Likewise, Dr. Martinez-Sobrido’s lab aims to develop vaccines and antivirals that can be long-lasting for viral infections in humans.
Current research in the lab focuses on:
- Characterizing virus infections, development of vaccines and antivirals
- Reverse Genetics (RG) approaches for RNA and DNA viruses
- Viral immunogenicity, pathogenesis, and development of animal models
- Development of live attenuated vaccines for the treatment of viral infections
- Identification of neutralizing antibodies with prophylactic and therapeutic applications
- Molecular virology
- Viral immunology
