About the Department
The University of Chicago Department of Microbiology has a distinguished legacy with over 200 Ph.D. graduates, many of whom have achieved national and international recognition.
The Randall Laboratory studies virus-host interactions to understand viral replication and pathogenesis, with a focus on medically important RNA viruses including hepatitis C virus, dengue virus, Zika virus, and norovirus — pathogens responsible for conditions such as liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, hemorrhagic fever, congenital birth defects, and severe gastrointestinal illness.
Having identified nearly 100 host cofactors of viral replication, the lab investigates how these cellular genes contribute to critical stages of the viral life cycle, including entry, protein translation, RNA replication, lipid metabolism, replication complex assembly, viral secretion, and innate immune control of infection.
