Patryk Krakowiak a graduate student from the Cliffe Lab received a prestigious two year long Predoctoral Fellowship Award from the American Heart Association, starting January 1st 2025.
His project, entitled ‘The Consequences of UL12.5-Mediated Innate Immune Activation in Neurons and Its Role in HSV-1 reactivation’ is aiming to investigate neuronal-specific responses to HSV infection, particularly focusing on the viral protein UL12.5 and the mechanisms by which HSV-1 co-opts host cell signaling pathways to reactivate.
Congratulations Patryk!
