Priya Shah

Assistant Professor

  • Microbiology and Microbial Genetics -- College of Biological Sciences
  • Chemical Engineering -- College of Engineering

Priya Shah conducts research at the intersection of chemical engineering and microbiology. Members of her lab investigate virus-host interactions, including how Zika virus-host protein interactions lead to dysfunction of host proteins and inhibition of brain development, and viral control of gene expression. They also use approaches from synthetic biology to improve the production of viral proteins for applications in biotechnology.
