Beatrice Nal-Rogier

I have done my PhD research work at the Centre of Immunology of Marseille-Luminy (CIML) under the supervision of Dr Pierre Ferrier and received my PhD in Immunology in 2002 from the University of Aix-Marseille, France. After a post-doc at Institut Pasteur in Paris with Dr Andres Alcover, in the lab of Prof Alice Dautry, I have joined the Hong Kong University-Pasteur Research Centre for a second post-doc. I have been appointed Research Assistant Professor and leader of the Virus-Host Interactions group in 2006.

Along these years I have developed expertise in Immunology, Cellular Biology and Virology.

I have joined Brunel University, London, in August 2011. I am Lecturer in Medical Microbiology and head of the "new" Virus-Host Interactions group. I am Fellow of the Brunel ETC technology platform and member of the British Society for Cell Biology and the Society for General Microbiology.

Since 2003, my research focuses on virus interactions with cellular host factors. My objective is to understand how viruses exploit the cells during early and late stages of the viral life cycle and which restriction mechanisms cells have developed to counteract viral infections. I have developed projects on human coronaviruses, dengue virus and influenza A virus with the objective to identify common and differential pathways used by enveloped viruses during critical stages of their life cycle. The ultimate goal is to identify novel targets for anti-viral strategies.

I have supervised 6 PhD students and 3 MPhiL students and been co-supervisor of others. I supervise 1 to 2 Masters students and 6 Final year project students per year on Research projects.
