| Summary: |
(CIT): Dr. Greene received her PhD from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, where her research focused on determinants of alphavirus virulence, using Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus as a model system. She is presently a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Diane Griffins lab at Johns Hopkins, where she is using Sindbis virus infection of C57BL6 mice to examine the immunopathogenesis of acute viral encephalitis. She will discuss the use of whole-body bioluminescence imaging as a tool for studying the contribution of the host immune response to pathogenesis and as a method of evaluating possible therapeutic compounds. |
