My lab is one of five groups in the Avian Disease and Oncology Laboratory, and we all share a common research goal. Thus, with our unique collection of inbred chickens lines and virus strains, we have a well-equipped multidisciplinary effort with expertise in molecular virology, pathology, immunology, and genetics to understand viral-induced cancers of the chicken.
