معرفی
Erich R. Mackow is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on molecular and cellular mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and immune evasion, particularly in flaviviruses (Powassan, Zika, Dengue), hantaviruses, and SARS-CoV-2. He holds a Ph.D. from Temple University (1984) and is a Fellow of both the American Academy of Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
