Laboratory

Summary

The Laboratory of Virology and Genetics at EPFL focuses on the interactions between viruses and their hosts, with a particular interest in the KRAB'n'KAP system, which regulates mammalian physiology. Their research has evolved to explore the impact of retroelements on human development and health, including studying rare genes in colorectal cancer tumors. Through their work, they aim to uncover the secrets of our DNA, improve cancer treatment, and understand how viruses like Omicron evade immune responses.
