معرفی
Stephen Rawlinson is a Research Fellow in Microbiology at Monash University, Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. His research is focused on virology and cell biology, particularly the molecular mechanisms of viral infection involving nuclear transport and gene regulation.
Research Interests:
- Virology, with emphasis on henipaviruses and lyssaviruses
- Cellular mechanisms of viral pathogenesis
- Nuclear transport and nucleolar function during infection
- Structural virology and viral protein multifunctionality
The recent publications show a consistent focus on how viruses such as rabies and henipaviruses manipulate host cell machinery, particularly through interactions with nucleolar proteins and regulation of ribosomal RNA synthesis. His work combines molecular biology, structural analysis, and functional assays to uncover viral strategies for immune evasion and replication.
Scientific Activities and Recognition:
- Active peer reviewer for journals including Biochemical Journal and PLoS ONE
- Member of the programme committee for Lorne Infection and Immunity (2019)
- Invited speaker at the Australasian Virology Society (AVS10)
- Organiser of the Bio21 Methods Symposium (2019)
Stephen Rawlinson contributes to scientific discourse through collaborative statements advocating for rational and evidence-based discussion in virology. He has no listed students or formal awards in the available data, but his publication record and professional engagement indicate an active and respected presence in the virology research community.
