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.
