Jonathan Abraham is an Associate Professor specializing in the fields of microbiology and host-pathogen interactions. His research primarily focuses on molecular biology, immunology, and structural biology, particularly in the context of enveloped RNA viruses and their role in human viral hemorrhagic fevers. With limited vaccine and treatment options for these viral infections, he explores strategies that include passive immunity, notably using neutralizing-antibody containing immune plasma transfusions to treat infections caused by viruses like the New World arenavirus Junin and Ebola virus. Abraham's work dissects the molecular features of viruses and host immune responses, studying aspects such as glycoprotein architecture and antibody functions. His laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates techniques like X-crystallography, electron microscopy, and various immunological assays, along with collaborations for efficacy studies in animal models. Through his efforts, he aims to inform new strategies for preventing and treating emerging viral infections.
