Ask a Professional - Intracellular investigators with Dr Valerie Odon

This is 'Ask a professional', the format of the Viral Talk where the focus is on the science but most importantly on the PERSON behind the science. From insect-borne viruses to SARS-CoV-2 and vaccines, we're going to interview experts from the UK and the world on their research, career, future prospects and tips for the younger generations of scientists. In this episode Federico interviews Dr Valerie Odon, newly appointed group leader at the University of Strathclyde in virology. In this episode we're gonna talk about cells investigating intruders (viruses), the wisdom of mothers and the challenges that come with becoming your own boss.

How a cellular protein recognises viral RNA and stops virus replication - DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkz581

How that same protein differs in humans and birds and this leads to differences in immunity - doi: 10.1261/rna.079102.122
