Carlos Gorbea

Carlos Gorbea, PhD, is a Research Fellow affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Utah School of Medicine. His research spans molecular virology, RNA biology, and neuroinflammation.

• Postdoctoral Fellowship: University of Utah School of Medicine
• Postdoctoral Training: Pennsylvania State University
• Doctoral/Master’s Training: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Research Interests: Dr. Gorbea investigates RNA virus infections, focusing on post-transcriptional RNA processing, non-coding RNA in innate immunity, and mechanisms like intracellular proteolysis and cell motility. His work explores links between Gammaherpesvirinae/Picornaviridae infections and neurodegenerative disorders.

Publication Trends: Recent studies involve RNA-seq analysis of neuroinflammatory models, emphasizing microglia/macrophage-specific gene markers during viral infections.
