Influenza Virus Transmission Lab
Anice C Lowen · Atlanta, Georgia
Research Focus
Dr. Anice C. Lowen's lab at Emory University studies how influenza A viruses spread among humans and other animals. They use advanced techniques to understand the biology of the virus, how it interacts with different hosts, and the factors that influence transmission. Their work aims to improve public health strategies for controlling influenza outbreaks and pandemics.
