RNA viruses carry highly conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerases that they use to copy and transcribe their genomes. However, as RNA-dependent RNA polymerases are inherently error-prone, all RNA viruses produce aberrant replication products, so-called \u201cdefective viral genomes\u201d. My research interests focus on understanding how influenza A virus and other respiratory and emerging negative-sense RNA viruses replicate their RNA genomes and how their (aberrant) replication products induce the innate immune response. We use a combination approach of molecular biology tools, state-of-the-art transcriptomics and viral engineering to understand the molecular mechanisms of viral replication and how virus-host interactions affect viral replication and the innate immune response.<\/p>\n<\/div>
