The Department of Immunobiology Seminar Series presents:
“Identifying Immune Correlates of Protection and Determinants of Oncogenic Virus Persistence Using Novel Animal Models of Kaposi’s Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus Infection”
Presenter Details
Laurie Krug, PhD
Stadtman Investigator, HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch
Center for Cancer Research
National Cancer Institute
Dr. Krug completed her doctorate in the laboratory of Dr. Philip Pellett at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while a graduate student at Emory University in 2001. Her graduate research focused on the initiation of viral DNA replication by the human herpesviruses -6A, -6B, and 7. Her post-doctoral research in the laboratory of Dr. Margaret K. Offermann at the Winship Cancer Center focused on the interaction of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus with the innate immune response of endothelial cells. This was followed by a post-doctoral fellowship with Dr. Samuel H. Speck in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Emory University to train in the molecular virology of additional oncogenic herpesviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and murine gammaherpesvirus 68. Dr. Krug continued her investigations of virus-host interactions using the murine gammaherpesvirus pathogen in the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics of Stony Brook University as an Assistant Professor in 2008, then as an Associate Professor in 2016. In 2019, Dr. Krug was appointed as a Stadtman Investigator in the HIV and AIDS Malignancy Branch.
