Schwarzer Lab · MECHANISMS OF VIRAL PERSISTENCE
WELCOME TO THE SCHWARZER LAB
Our research explores how intrinsic cellular states and extrinsic factors govern viral life cycles, host-cell permissiveness, and disease pathogenesis.
Research
From host-cell state to therapeutic opportunity
Current projects in the lab range from HIV latency and persistence to hypoxia- and purinergic control of infection, inflammatory host signaling, and the cellular remodeling triggered by orthohantaviruses.
