Welcome to the Munschauer Lab – Now at Heidelberg University

We are excited to announce that the Munschauer Lab is moving to the Centre for Integrative Infectious Disease Research (CIID) at Heidelberg University! We look forward to launching exciting new research projects at our new home. Stay tuned for more.

We are an interdisciplinary team of virologists, biochemists and computational biologists with a passion for unlocking the secrets of pathogenic RNA viruses. We are interested in learning how RNA-binding proteins shape the fate of viral RNA to influence infection outcomes. We take a systems biology-inspired approach and combine cutting-edge technologies from the areas of mass spectrometry and genomics to understand the molecular interactions between RNA viruses and their hosts. Ultimately, we strive to identify novel host-dependency or antiviral mechanisms that can inspire the design of the next generation of antivirals.
