Welcome!
Welcome to the website showcasing Dr. Deborah Fuller’s research program, based at the University of Washington in Seattle alongside the Washington National Primate Research Center (WaNPRC).
In addition to studying viral pathogenesis in non-human primate models, the Fuller lab primarily focuses on developing novel antivirals, vaccines, and immunotherapies for SARS-CoV-2, HIV, influenza, hepatitis B, Zika virus, and other viral infections.
