Dr. Megan O'Connor’s research program is dedicated to investigating viral co-infections, with a particular emphasis on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Her work centers on understanding co-infections in people living with HIV, focusing on four key areas: assessing risks associated with co-infection, identifying immune responses and novel immune pathways linked to disease pathogenesis, examining alterations in the host microbiome and their impact on disease progression, and utilizing pre-clinical models to test potential vaccines and therapeutics for individuals living with HIV.
