Major Research Areas
Microbiology and Virology
This group of researchers works on a broad range of microorganisms. Interests include: infectivity; gene regulation; DNA replication and pathogenesis of human viruses such as HTLV, HSV, EBV, KSHV, VZV, and DENV; as well as microbes such as tuberculosis and the sexually transmitted Trichomonads and Chlamydia. Both in vitro and in vivo models are applied. Investigators are engaged in fundamental studies at the molecular, biochemical and genetic levels, as well as studies aimed toward the development of viral gene therapy delivery vectors and vaccines and toward the treatment of disease.

What's the
SUNY Upstate Difference?
Researcher Improves Bone Marrow Transplant Success Rate in MiceAt SUNY Upstate Medical University, researchers are dedicated to unlocking the mysteries of human health and illness.
William Kerr, a former Newman Scholar of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, brought more than $3.8 million in NIH funding this year to SUNY Upstate. Kerr investigates the role a novel gene (LRBA) plays in cancer cells, and studies a particular enzyme (SHIP) involved in the rejection of bone marrow and organ transplants. More >
