Integrative
Viromics Lab

How do viruses shape life across biological scales?

The Integrative Viromics Lab studies viruses from proteins to people to ecosystems. We combine multi-omics, systems biology, artificial intelligence, and experimental approaches to uncover hidden viral diversity and understand how viruses shape microbial communities, human health, and environmental change.

Our work focuses on:

• Discovering unknown viruses and viral functions

• Mapping virus interactions with microbes, immune systems, and host cells

• Understanding how viruses shape health across the human lifespan

• Developing virus-based tools for biotechnology and medicine

• Examining viral responses to climate and ecosystem change
