Spurgeon Lab
@spurgeonlab.bsky.social
Laboratory of Dr. Megan Spurgeon at the Morgridge Institute for Research and McArdle Laboratory for Cancer Research. We study how DNA tumor viruses interact with their hosts to cause cancer.
The first official publication from the Spurgeon Lab! Check out the GEM review with @k4v1.bsky.social on tumor virus manipulation of host replisomes. Viruses and the host replisome: discovering oncogenic mechanisms of small DNA tumor viruses | Journal of Virology journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....
@spurgeonlab.bsky.social and I wrote a cool new review. Check it out! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10....
