Ott Lab News

Founded by Melanie Ott, MD, PhD, the Ott Lab is focused on how human viruses interact with the host cell. We are currently researching five human pathogens – the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1), Zika virus, Hepatitis B and C, and SARS-CoV-2. We have a particular interest in three cellular processes – lipid droplets, transcriptional elongation, and immune reprogramming. Our research on COVID-19 includes a new CRISPR-based diagnostic and harnessing the host response for new therapeutics.
