The Tripp lab develops translational disease intervention strategies and countermeasures for important human pathogens and emerging infectious diseases of zoonotic origin. His labs investigate the mechanisms of immunity, the virus-host interface, and disease pathogenesis to understand the dynamics of host response to infection and to provide new strategies for resolving disease.
