Che Colpitts is an Associate Professor in Biomedical Molecular Sciences at Queen's University. He has a PhD in Virology from the University of Alberta and extensive experience in research on virus-host interactions, particularly with positive-sense RNA viruses such as Flaviviridae and Coronaviridae. His research focuses on the mechanisms of viral entry and immune evasion, aiming to understand how glycans mediate viral entry into target cells, particularly in the context of COVID-19. Che has held research positions at University College London, and the University of Strasbourg, and has published numerous articles in high-impact journals on topics related to antiviral strategies and viral pathogenesis. He leads a laboratory that explores these aspects to develop therapeutic approaches against emerging viral diseases. His recent work has included evaluating the roles of cyclophilins in replication and immune responses of hepatitis C and coronaviruses. Che is dedicated to advancing the understanding of viral infections and finding new antiviral strategies.
