Funded Activity Summary

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy can have devastating effects on the developing baby, causing life-long disease and fetal death. Despite CMV being the most common infectious cause of fetal injury, there are significant gaps in our understanding of this congenital disease and no therapeutics available for use during pregnancy. This study will investigate the genetic molecular mechanisms by which CMV causes fetal injury and develop interventional therapies to reduce disease.
