About The Position
Our laboratory studies how human intestinal epithelial cells detect and respond to enteric viral infections (rotavirus, norovirus, astrovirus, reovirus). We are particularly interested in characterizing qualitative and quantitative differences in innate immune responses across diverse intestinal epithelial cell types (enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, stem cells) and diverse sections of the human gut (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon). We investigate how epithelial cell polarity (apical-basolateral organization) affects viral infection and cellular responses, and we seek to understand the impact of the gut's unique low-oxygen environment (hypoxia) on infection outcomes. You will join a vibrant virology community at UF that includes experts in herpesvirus biology, enteric viruses, and emerging pathogens, offering excellent opportunities for collaboration and professional development.
