Infections with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) are a major cause of mortality in immunocompromised humans and of childhood disabilities. We are interested in the role of cytomegalovirus envelope glycoprotein complexes in cell entry and in shaping the antiviral immune response with the aim to design vaccines protecting from HCMV infection and CMV vectors for immune therapy of infectious diseases and tumors. Read more...
