My main motivation in Science is to understand how virus genome replication influences pathogenesis. Along my career I have worked with the very best researchers in this field: Esteban Domingo, Dave Rowlands, Craig Cameron, Ian Goodfellow, Nuria Verdaguer, among many other friends and colleagues. My current research aims at unraveling polymerase fidelity as a factor contributing to virus behaviour in nature, and the design of antiviral strategies based on fidelity manipulation.
