We are a motivated junior research group working at the Institute of Medical Virology at the Justus Liebig University Giessen.

Current research activities focus on the biology and pathogenesis of respiratory viruses / +ssRNA viruses.

The main goal of our studies is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of (host) factors and molecular mechanisms involved in viral replication. Information derived from these studies is used to develop new prophylactic and therapeutic strategies to combat respiratory and/or systemic infections caused by these viruses.
