Research Interests
The McElroy lab studies the pathogenesis and immunity of emerging viruses with a focus on negative sense RNA viruses of zoonotic potential. To do this the lab uses cell culture systems, animal models and primary human derived specimens. The lab also uses molecular virology to create recombinant viruses to understand how viruses cause disease and perform various immunologic assays to understand how hosts prevent or mitigate disease.
