My current research is dedicated to understanding the assembly and packaging mechanisms of the Influenza A virus. By employing in-situ sequencing techniques, I investigate the formation of viral RNA complexes in infected human cells over various time points. This approach allows me to analyze the spatial organization and interactions between viral RNA segments, aiming to uncover potential biological mechanisms driving complex formation. By improving the accuracy of RNA detection methods and addressing potential biases in barcode identification, my work contributes to a deeper understanding of viral replication dynamics, which may aid future antiviral strategies and vaccine development.
