Kirsten Spann

Dr. Kirsten Spann is primarily focused in the evasion of host antiviral responses by paramyxoviruses and the functions of the viral proteins involved in this evasion.

Dr. Spann works principally with the paediatric viruses Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Metapneumovirus (MPV).

Dr. Spann is interested in the structure and function of the non-structural proteins of RSV and their role in interferon-dependent and interferon-independent antiviral responses.

In addition, Dr. Spann is investigating RNAi as an antiviral strategy against MPV.
