Cora Holicki

Dr. Cora Holicki is a Researcher in the Virology department at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC), Rotterdam, focusing on viral pathogens with emphasis on Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) and West Nile Virus (WNV). Her work bridges human and veterinary medicine through zoonotic disease research.

Her primary research domains include Hepatitis E Virus pathogenesis, monoclonal antibody therapeutics, viral shedding mechanisms, and transmission dynamics of zoonotic infections. She specializes in porcine infection models for HEV and develops wildlife surveillance systems for tracking viral spread in natural reservoirs.

Recent publications reveal strong trends in translational virology: developing HEV vaccine candidates evaluated in pigs, creating neutralizing monoclonal antibody treatments, and implementing integrated surveillance for WNV using dog-wild boar systems. Her work consistently addresses cross-species transmission risks and therapeutic interventions for viral diseases with significant public health implications.
