Kate Rubins' profile

What I do

Principal Investigator of a research group at the Whitehead Institute/MIT. My lab researches host-pathogen interactions, specifically focusing on poxviruses and filoviruses. We study viral interference with the host immune response, as well as viral modulation of host RNA transcription, translation and decay.
