Funded Activity Summary

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) remains a significant human pathogen which causes serious and often life-threatening disease in immunosuppressed people such as bone marrow and solid organ transplant patients and in unborn babies infected during pregnancy. This project will define how HCMV controls host defences by actively modifying the cells it infects to create an environment favourable to continued viral infection and disease.
