PROJETS

Au delà de la compréhension de la biologie du virus HSV-1, l’équipe développe des recherches qui ont pour but de comprendre au niveau moléculaire et en utilisant le génome du virus HSV-1 comme modèle, certains aspects fondamentaux de la dynamique nucléaire et chromatinienne en relation avec l’intégrité du génome et la régulation de l’expression génique.
