Chris Boutell is a Programme Leader in Virology at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on understanding how human viruses interact with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifications that play critical roles in regulating cellular pathways, including protein stability, cell cycle, transcription, DNA repair, and antiviral immunity. His laboratory investigates viruses such as herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and influenza virus to elucidate the pathways involved in virus-host interactions and the mechanisms underlying viral replication. He has been involved in various projects addressing the innate immune response to viral infections and has received multiple grants for his research, including work on MonkeyPox and COVID-19. His contributions to the field are significant, aiming to develop novel therapeutic interventions based on the knowledge gained from these interactions.
