OverviewAI-generated summary

Jia Liu investigates the complex interplay between viruses and host immune systems, with a particular focus on poxviruses. As Principal Investigator on two grants from the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH/NIAID), Liu has received a total of $593,823 to support this research. One project, funded at $372,718, examines how poxviruses evade the host's SAMD9 pathway, a critical defense mechanism. The second NIH/NIAID-funded project, with an award of $221,105, explores the role of APOBEC3 enzymes in promoting poxvirus diversification, enabling the viruses to overcome host immune restrictions. This work contributes to a broader understanding of viral pathogenesis and host-pathogen interactions.
