About Us
The Shah Lab opened in 2017. Interested in applying? Check out our contact page for more information!
Research Focus
The Shah Lab uses viruses and engineering principles to perturb and control biological networks. We are interested in exploring two major questions:
- How do flaviviruses hijack host machinery to facilitate their own replication and cause disease?
- Can we control these biological networks for biomedical and biotechnology applications?
We use complementary techniques of global proteomics, genetics, high-throughput sequencing, high-throughput animal models, microscopy and synthetic biology to tackle these questions.
