Evaluate influenza viruses at avian-human interface, identify novel avian viruses, antigenic and phenotypic characterizations of avian influenza viruses to assess human risk, and understand virologica
We propose to establish a panel of H7N2 viruses representing the accumulation of charge in the HA, as well as recombinant HA (rHA) proteins to interrogate the role of charge in HA function and influen

Our objectives are to better understand the evolution of H5N1 viruses in avian species, and to better understand the pandemic threat posed by H5N1 viruses.
