Vikram Misra, PhD
Research in the Misra laboratory focuses on two areas: (1) Pathogenesis of Pseudogymnoascus destructans, a fungus that has killed millions of bats in North America since its introduction in 2007, and the effect of fungal infection, as well other stressors, on the reactivation of a bat coronavirus closely related to viruses that have spilled over from bats into humans and other species. (2) The role of Luman (CREB3) and Zhangfei (CREBZF) in herpesvirus biology, stress responses and neuronal repair.
