Mission

The Bell Lab focuses on elucidating host-viral interactions at the cellular and systemic levels to develop antiviral countermeasures. Emerging negative strand RNA viruses that spillover from animal reservoirs are studied as a part of their One Health approach.

Bell Lab Goals

  1. Develop, educate, and train the next generation of scientists to work with emerging viruses.
  2. Conduct innovative research in cellular and systemic pathology.
  3. Advance solutions to One Health and public health challenges that support national security and biodefense.
