Rachel Fearns is a professor at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, specializing in Virology, Immunology, and Microbiology. Her research focuses on the transcription-replication machinery of non-segmented negative strand RNA viruses. This includes a range of viral families such as the Marburg virus, Nipah virus, respiratory syncytial virus, and parainfluenza virus. Fearns’s work integrates biochemical and molecular biology approaches to explore the structural and functional properties of the viral polymerases and their regulatory mechanisms during infections. She collaborates with structural biologists to elucidate the structure-function relationships of these polymerases and has worked with industry partners to assess the therapeutic potential of small molecule polymerase inhibitors. Additionally, she holds leadership roles within the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories and serves as an educator and primary mentor for graduate students in the Graduate Medical Sciences program at Boston University.
