Jaquelin P. Dudley

Jaquelin Dudley is Professor in Molecular Biosciences and Associate Director of the LaMontagne Center for Infectious Disease at UT Austin. Her lab studies mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) as a model for breast cancer and retroviral pathogenesis.

Research Focus:

• MMTV-induced tumor mechanisms through insertional mutagenesis
• Viral Rem protein processing via ERAD pathways
• APOBEC-mediated antiviral innate immunity

Publication analysis shows 45% focus on viral replication, 30% on cancer links, 15% on immunity, and 10% on gene therapy vectors. Recent studies examine VCP/p97-mediated viral protein trafficking.

Honors & Education:

• American Academy of Microbiology Fellow (2009)
• PhD from Baylor College of Medicine
• Postdoctoral training with Harold Varmus (UCSF)
