The University of Arizona’s Felicia Goodrum, PhD, and some of the nation’s most prominent human cytomegalovirus researchers have been awarded a five-year, $8.9 million collaborative grant to investigate how the virus lies dormant until it activates and poses life-threatening disease risk.
Researchers at the University of Arizona Health Sciences are the first to develop a “roadmap” of the dormant stage of the human cytomegalovirus, a member of the herpesvirus family, which includes viruses, or agents of infection, that cause chickenpox, herpes simplex and mononucleosis.
