Professor Sam Wilson's research focuses on molecular virology, particularly the evolutionary mechanisms that enable viruses to emerge in humans or adapt from animal hosts. His work aims to understand the molecular interactions underlying viral replication, emergence, transmission, and pathogenesis, particularly regarding pandemic viruses like influenza and coronaviruses. Wilson collaborates closely with Suzannah Rihn, sharing lab space and expertise, to enhance their understanding of how viruses can overcome innate immune defenses. His lab strives to integrate observations from in vitro studies with data from animal models and human populations to predict which viruses are likely to emerge and assist in the design of new therapeutic interventions. Wilson is committed to furthering the academic investigation of viral pathogens to contribute to global health prosperity.
