NIH funded research project at University of California Los Angeles to study host determinants of ocular Zika virus pathogenesis, aiming to identify therapeutic targets through proteomic and genomic approaches.
Description
This NIH project focuses on understanding the host factors involved in Zika virus-induced ocular disease, with potential for developing targeted therapies. The project performed unbiased proteomic profiling of ZIKV-infected retinal pigment epithelium and genome-wide screens to identify therapeutic targets for ocular ZIKV infection.
