Dr. Brian McSharry is a molecular virologist affiliated with Charles Sturt University's Gulbali Research Institute, specializing in biosecurity. His career spans institutions including Cardiff University, University College Cork, and the University of Sydney, where he studied viral immune modulation mechanisms.
- Education: BSc in Biotechnology from National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG); PhD in Molecular Virology from Cardiff University
Brian's research focuses on how viral proteins regulate host immune pathways, particularly nuclear trafficking of viral components. Key areas include Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and Adenovirus studies, with applications in vaccine development and immune evasion strategies.
Recent publications highlight his work on adenovirus core protein VII, HSV-mediated disruption of MR1 antigen presentation, and viral impact on endosomal compartments. His studies employ structural biology and molecular virology approaches.
