May Laboratory
Our lab focuses on elucidating the mechanisms of virus-host interactions, with an emphasis on how these relationships impact viral replication and spread. Using model RNA plant viruses, we investigate a wide range of cellular pathways and processes that influence virus accumulation. Through this work, we aim to uncover fundamental principles of viral pathogenesis and host defense strategies, contributing to broader knowledge in plant-virus dynamics.
