Research summary
Research outline
Our main focuses are bornaviruses and SARS-CoV-2. Bornavirus research includes elucidation of infection and replication mechanisms, viral co-evolution research to uncover the mysteries of endogenous bornavirus-like elements in our genomes, and development of a novel viral vector for gene and cellular therapies based on reverse genetics technology of bornavirus. In SARS-CoV-2 research, we are analyzing mutant strains and host factors that interact with viral replication. For more information, please visit the lab website or contact Dr. Tomonaga by email.

- Elucidation of the mechanism of replication and pathogeneses of bornaviruses
- Analysis on virus-host co-evolution using endogenous bornaviruses
- Development of a novel RNA viral vectors for gene and cellular therapy
