Glenn C. Randall is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Chicago. His laboratory focuses on virus-host interactions, specifically studying RNA viruses which include hepatitis C virus, dengue virus, Zika virus, and noroviruses. Dr. Randall's research aims to uncover the roles of host cofactors in viral replication and pathogenesis, particularly in viruses that have significant medical implications such as cirrhosis, liver cancer, hemorrhagic fever, and severe gastrointestinal diseases. He has identified approximately 100 host cofactors that play critical roles in various stages of the viral life cycle, including entry, regulation of viral protein translation, RNA replication, and modulation of cellular lipid metabolism. Additionally, his work explores how these interactions influence the control of infection by the innate immune system.
