Funded Activity Summary

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a significant human pathogen which causes serious disease in immunosuppressed people such as bone marrow and solid organ transplant patients. HCMV has the capacity to switch between an active and a dormant state, enabling this virus to remain within the human host, where it can emerge years later to cause disease in immunosuppressed people. This project will define how HCMV controls the switch between active and dormant phases of infection.
