Alan Cochrane is a Professor in Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on understanding the role of RNA processing in viral replication, particularly HIV-1. Cochrane’s laboratory investigates the determinants of HIV-1 RNA processing and identifies cis- and trans-acting factors that are critical for virus replication. His work has led to the characterization of several factors and the identification of small molecules that can suppress HIV-1 replication by affecting viral RNA metabolism. Research efforts are also directed towards developing novel therapeutics that target multiple viral infections, including adenovirus and coronaviruses, to explore the potential of pan-antivirals. His contribution to the field emphasizes the importance of RNA processing in gene expression control and its implications for infectious disease treatment.
