Hannah Turkington

Hannah Turkington is a Research Fellow at the Wellcome Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine, part of Queen's University Belfast's School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences. Her work focuses on virology and molecular mechanisms of viral replication, particularly influenza and respiratory syncytial viruses. She collaborates on interdisciplinary projects involving RNA biology and cellular pathways.

Her research interests include the study of endosomes, ribonucleoproteins, and cofactors in viral processes. She has contributed to understanding how cellular proteins like MKRN2 influence viral mRNA trafficking during infections.

In 2024, she co-authored a peer-reviewed article in PLoS Pathogens, exploring influenza mRNA dynamics. This work highlights her expertise in viral-host interactions and genomics.
