Dr Aurelie Mousnier

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Dr Mousnier’s research is focused on investigating the molecular interactions between host cells and rhinovirus, the virus responsible for most common colds and a major cause of asthma attacks. Despite a huge burden to society, there is currently no vaccine or antiviral treatment against rhinoviruses.

Her group aims to open new avenues for treatment by identifying and characterizing the role of host cell proteins essential for the replication of the virus or for the response of the host.
