High-throughput functional virology for human health

Our mission is to make a positive impact on human health as virologists.

Located in New York City at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center, the Iketani Lab is focused on contributing to answering foundational basic and translational virology questions, particularly through high-throughput scalable strategies. The Lab has a strong focus on advancing new approaches that could make an impact in virology and beyond. While we focus on several viruses and specific topics, our hope is that what we develop can be broadly applicable.
