Ron Fouchier

Ron Fouchier is a Full Professor of Virology at Erasmus University Medical Center. His research focuses on the biology, transmission, and pathogenesis of respiratory viruses including influenza viruses. Work spans fundamental virology, host adaptation mechanisms, and pandemic preparedness.

Research includes characterization of viral evolution, interspecies transmission risks, and development of experimental models including organoid systems. Contributions to understanding airborne transmission of avian influenza viruses inform global surveillance strategies.
