Molecular Genetics, Robert L. Glaser, Ph.D.

Dr. Glaser's lab has established a robust genetic system involving West Nile virus infection of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster to identify host genes that modulate infection and demonstrated, that the RNA interference pathway provides innate immunity against West Nile virus infection in flies.
