We talk with Chinonye Dim, a graduate student at Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, who characterizes more accessible animal models to develop new vaccines and therapeutics against flaviviruses.

We talk with Hatoon Baazim, a postdoctoral researcher at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, MA, who studies the role of systemic and cellular metabolism in virus infection.

We talk with with Charlotte Nyblade, a DVM/PhD student at the Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Blacksburg, VA, who used gnotobiotic pig models to study vaccine-mediated immunity and protection against enteric viruses.

We talk with Stephanie Goya , a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, who uses genomic approaches to understand and predict the evolution of respiratory viruses such as RSV.

We talk with Roberto Alers-Velazquez, a postdoc at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, Hanover, NH, who studies how subclinical herpes simplex virus infections can impair memory and behavior.

We talk with Abdullahi Jamiu, a graduate student at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, VA, who studies how encephalitic alphaviruses modulate cellular transcription and antiviral responses to discover novel therapeutic targets.

We talk with David James, a Naturopathic Medicine student at Sonoran University in Tempe, AZ, who investigates the antiviral efficacy of botanical compounds.

We talk with Katherine Calderon Mayo, a graduate student at the National University of San Marcos in Peru, who develops virus vectored vaccines against avian diseases.
