Research summary

Scott P. Kenney studies viral infections in animals, especially pigs, chickens, and cattle, with a strong focus on hepatitis E virus and how it crosses species barriers, replicates, and causes chronic infection. His lab also works on influenza and coronaviruses, immune responses to these viruses, and developing vaccines and diagnostic tools for livestock health. This research connects animal disease with human health, since some of these viruses can spread between animals and people (zoonotic transmission).
