Getting the mpox outbreak in Africa under control will be a challenge, but there are tools available to do it.
Cheryl Walter
Senior Lecturer in Biomedical Science, University of Hull
I have a sustained research career in virology spanning 17 years. My postgraduate theses involved developing tools for characterizing novel insect viruses. I then spent 6 years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Leeds, one of the biggest virology research hubs in the UK. At the University of Hull, I worked on coupled transcription/translation mechanisms of emerging viruses, RNA-protein interactions and resolution of nucleoprotein structures and later, virus-host interactions focusing on RNA virus replication complexes.
