Cody J. Warren studies how viruses related to HIV (lentiviruses) and other animal viruses infect hosts and cross species barriers, with particular focus on primate immune defenses like the CD4 receptor and interferon signaling. The lab combines evolutionary genetics, virology, and animal/cell models (including monkeys and stem-cell-derived immune cells) to understand HIV-related viruses, herpesviruses, and emerging pathogens with potential to jump from animals to humans. This work is relevant to students interested in virus evolution, immune defense mechanisms, and the origins of viral disease outbreaks.
