Dynamic Organelle Shape and Function During Herpesvirus Infection
Research in the Cristea laboratory focuses on characterizing mechanisms of cellular defense against viruses, as well as mechanisms used by viruses to manipulate these critical cellular processes. Towards these goals, her lab has promoted the integration of virology with proteomics and bioinformatics. The development of methods for studying virus-host protein interactions in space and time during the progression of an infection has allowed her group to bridge developments in mass spectrometry to important findings in virology.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 6/16/2021 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

COVID 19 Vaccine Development
My laboratory focuses on studying the immunology and virology of HIV-1 infection and developing novel vaccine strategies. I have also recently demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of potent monoclonal antibodies and the early seeding of the viral reservoir. My laboratory received three NIH U19 Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) program grants in 2005, 2008, and 2012 to construct alternative serotype adenovirus vaccine vectors, to explore their immunogenicity and protective efficacy in rhesus monkeys, and to advance optimal vaccine candidates into clinical trials. Four phase 1 clinical trials...

The Biomedical Research Response to COVID-19: A View from NIAID
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
NIAID has a long-standing dual mandate to maintain a robust portfolio of research in its key focus areas and to respond to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). With this mandate, NIAID has also sought to improve EID-response preparedness, working in partnership with other U.S. government research entities, industry, academia, and international public-health organizations. This preparedness planning helped the institute respond rapidly to COVID-19. NIAID tapped existing coronavirus expertise and other assets to stand up research programs spanning basic virology and immunology ...

2018 Kinyoun Lecture - Opioids: Epidemic of our time and impact on infectious disease
Robert R. Redfield, M.D., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will deliver the 2018 Joseph J. Kinyoun Memorial Lecture on the intersection between the national opioid crisis and the management of infectious diseases.
Titled, “ Opioids: Epidemic of Our Time and Impact on Infectious Disease, ” Dr. Redfield ’ s talk will explore the impacts of the unprecedented use of opioids in the United States on the management of infectious diseases. While overdose remains the leading cause of death among people who use opioids, this population is also disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, bac...

Vesicular transmission of viral populations: strength in numbers
Director's Seminar Series
Using interdisciplinary approaches from cell biology to virology to immunology, we investigate the strategies exploited by viruses to successfully transmit themselves among hosts. We recently discovered a novel form of viral transmission in which viruses are transmitted among hosts, not as single infectious units, but as populations of infectious units clustered inside vesicles. We have found this type of en masse transmission to be widespread in nature, taking place both within as well as between hosts and notably leading to enhanced viral infectivity, suppression of host immune responses and the...
