Key Faculty & Specific Research Interests
Daisy W. Leung, PhD
Professor, Departments of Medicine, Pathology and Immunology, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics
- Phone: 314-286-0645
- Email: dwleung@wustl.edu
The Leung Lab is focused on developing a mechanistic understanding of host-pathogen interactions that contribute to viral pathogenesis through immune evasion.
Jonathan H. Sheehan, PhD
Associate Professor of Medicine
- Phone: 314-273-8368
- Email: jonathan.sheehan@wustl.edu
Dr. Sheehan specializes in personalized structural biology, with a special focus on the molecular basis of disease mechanisms.
Chen Shen, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine
- Phone: 314-273-3387
- Email: shenc@wustl.edu
Dr. Shen studies the structural mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions with an emphasis on the signaling involving NOD-like receptors and other pattern recognition receptors. The ultimate goal is to provide the molecular basis for the development of therapeutics targeting various infectious diseases.
Eva-Maria Strauch, PhD
Associate Professor of Medicine, Molecular Microbiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics
- Email: evas@wustl.edu
The main focus of Dr. Strauch’s research is on how to diagnose, prevent and treat viral infections with the aim to generate new antivirals and candidates for vaccination through protein design.
