The Chandran Lab focuses on understanding the molecular warfare between diverse emerging enveloped viruses and cells and using this knowledge to advance antiviral countermeasures and enhance pandemic preparedness. Our key accomplishments include the discovery of a novel Ebola entry mechanism; critical entry receptors for emerging enveloped viruses; and the leadership of two NIH-funded international consortia for emerging virus countermeasures, Prometheus and PROVIDENT.
