Congratulations to Associate Professor Donna Neumann, one of our latest recipients of the MERI Grant Summit Program (GSP) Award!
Prof. Neumann’s winning research proposal was entitled ‘Inhibiting repair of the Herpes Simplex Virus genome for therapeutic effect.’ This project investigates the role of cellular single-strand DNA damage repair in the repair of nicks and gaps in HSV-1 genomes during infection. Her award will be used to generate further preliminary data in preparation for her upcoming grant resubmission.
