DEI Statement
Science is for everyone. My goal is to create an inclusive lab environment where people from all backgrounds can thrive both on and away from the bench.
Research Interest
The Spriggs lab seeks to understand the cell biology of oncogenic and oncolytic viral infections. Specifically, we investigate the virus-host interactions mediating DNA viral entry, with particular interest in the steps required for these viruses to gain entry into the nucleus. Our lab uses a combination of classical biochemistry and molecular biology techniques with advanced microscopy to clarify the relationship between virus infection and cancer.
