Bethany A. O’Hara Source Confirmed

OverviewAI-generated summary

Bethany A. O’Hara is a Staff Scientist at John Brown University whose research focuses on polyomavirus and related diseases. Her work primarily investigates JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and its role in progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. O’Hara's research explores the biogenesis of JCPyV-associated extracellular vesicles, the mechanisms of JCPyV infection, and potential therapeutic inhibitors. Her recent publications have identified several compounds, including teriflunomide and the oxindole GW-5074, that inhibit JCPyV infection and spread in glial cells. O'Hara's work also examines the restrictive penetration of JCPyV across the blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier. Additionally, she has worked on plant virus research studies and explored applications of wireless networks, including energy harvesting and full-duplex communications.
