Isabelle Gennart

Isabelle Gennart is a researcher at the University of Namur, affiliated with the Faculty of Sciences and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology. Her work focuses on molecular virology and epigenetic mechanisms in viral pathogenesis.

• Doctorate in Sciences (University of Namur, 2018)
• Master's in Biochemistry and Molecular and Cellular Biology (University of Namur, 2013)

Research interests revolve around:

• Epigenetic modifications in herpesvirus infections
• MicroRNA regulation during viral oncogenesis
• DNA methylation dynamics in viral gene expression
• Molecular mechanisms of latency and reactivation in Marek’s disease
• Host-virus interactions in lymphoproliferative disorders
• Functional analysis of viral promoters

Recent articles highlight her work on epigenetic silencing of miR-126 in Marek’s disease, methylation patterns in viral oncogenesis, and molecular regulation of herpesvirus genes during lytic and latent phases. Her studies span virology, epigenetics, and cancer biology.
