Our DNA contains many sequences of ancient viral origin. Activation of these viruses can trigger components of our immune system such as APOBEC3 enzymes, which in turn can induce DNA mutation and damage. We aim to use a combined computational/experimental approach to reveal the role of our internal viral sequences in cancer mutations.

The goal is to have immediate impact by identifying prophylactic/therapeutic interventions using micronutrients as effective, low-cost, low-risk countermeasures to reduce viral damage to human airway cells and mitigate virus spread during this pandemic. The impact of our focus on ?epithelial defense? will provide an immediate means to fortify airway epithelial barrier function early during SARS-CoV-2 illness, which will reduce lung water accumulation and dyspnea in infected patients.
