Registration is open for the FASEB Virus Structure & Assembly meeting!
Join us for exciting sessions on pandemic viruses, virus structure and replication, antiviral and bacteriophage therapies, and cutting-edge technologies. Short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts.
#VirStrucSRC
Our new paper is out in Viruses! Katya Knyazhanskaya and Pawel Bujalowski investigated whether the 3′ end of the dengue virus antigenome (negative strand) adopts a defined structure and is specifically recognized by the viral helicase and polymerase (NS3 and NS5).

Zoonotic Disease Risk at Traditional Food Markets January 29, 2026 Frida E. Sparaciari, Ph.D., Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, Phnom Penh, Cambodia Tuli Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D. (moderator), Indiana University Stacey Schultz-Cherry, Ph.D. (host), Co-Editor in Chief, Journal of Virology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital journals.asm.org
The latest virology research shapes public health in real time. 🌍
Join us to explore how traditional food markets sustain millions but also pose zoonotic risks—and how One Health strategies can reduce them without disrupting livelihoods.

New from the Choi lab!
Our study shows how West Nile virus polymerase recognizes its RNA promoter, stem-loop A. Excitingly, RNA decoys mimicking this structure can block viral replication + infection.
