Evolutionary Dynamics of the Influenza Virus

Juhye Lee earned her PhD in Genome Sciences. She performed her research under the mentorship of Dr. Jesse Bloom at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Juhye studied the evolutionary dynamics of the influenza virus. Specifically, using high-throughput approaches to uncover which mutations allow the virus to escape from antibodies. She ultimately hopes this work will enable forecasting of influenza evolution.
