Mary Poss is an Emeritus Professor at Eberly College of Science, specializing in the fields of Bioinformatics, Genomics, and Molecular Biology. Her research focuses on the dynamics of rapidly evolving viruses and their interaction with host population demographics, contributing valuable insights into the conservation of species and the ecology of infections in natural host populations. Poss utilizes both experimental systems and computational methods to elucidate how viruses adapt to new host environments. Her work in viral dynamics includes examining the innate immune responses during primary infections and the subsequent spread of secondary viruses, using both in vitro and in vivo systems. Additionally, she investigates the effects of simultaneous infections with multiple parasites and the mechanisms of disease attenuation during such coinfections, particularly in feline lentiviruses.
