Funded Activity Summary

EBV is ubiquitous virus that infects more than 90% of the population worldwide. Although infection is largely asymptomatic in most healthy individuals, EBV is nonetheless associated with the development of at least 7 distinct types of human malignancies. Most importantly, EBV is still a huge healthy problem in conditions of immune suppression. Therefore a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in effective control of the virus will help develop better immune therapies and vaccines.
