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.
Critical care medicine and pulmonary hypertension will be the subjects of the two lectures hosted from noon-1 p.m., Feb.
