Jeremy Keown is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick, specializing in RNA viruses, which includes viruses that infect humans, animals, and plants. His research primarily focuses on the function of the viral enzyme polymerase, crucial for the lifecycle of RNA viruses as it produces the viral mRNA necessary for replication. His lab employs advanced techniques to study the intricate details of how these molecular machines operate. Current research includes studying segmented non-segmented negative-sense RNA viruses, with a particular emphasis on the influenza virus and the bunyavirus family, utilizing cryo-electron microscopy to explore the structures of these viruses. Dr. Keown's future work aims to screen antiviral compounds with the hope of developing new antiviral strategies against these pathogens. His contributions to the field are reflected in various publications that analyze viral mechanisms and provide insights for therapeutic development.
