The balance between cellular survival and death must be tightly regulated. Cells respond to viral infection by self-destructing, thus limiting viral spread to other cells. Viruses have evolved ways to subvert this defensive cell suicide. This project will define and characterise viral factors that maintain host cell survival during infection. These may be targets for the development of new anti-viral therapies and vaccines.

细胞存活和死亡之间的平衡必须严格调节。细胞通过自我破坏来应对病毒感染，从而限制病毒传播到其他细胞。病毒已经进化出了破坏这种防御性细胞自杀的方法。这个项目将定义和验证在感染过程中维持宿主细胞存活的病毒因子。这些可能是开发新的抗病毒疗法和疫苗的目标。
