Matloob Husain PhD

Dr. Matloob Husain obtained his PhD from India and subsequently postdoctoral training at National Institutes of Health (NIH), USA. At present, Dr Husain is a Senior Lecturer in Virology and studies the molecular basis of influenza virus-host interactions with a goal of developing host-directed antiviral therapies. Dr Husain has identified the role of a family of host proteins known as histone deacetylases in influenza virus infection. His group continues to study the molecular basis of the interplay of influenza virus with host histone deacetylases.
