Jeffery L. Meier, M.D.
Associate Professor

Dr. Meier's research interests are in viral pathogenesis at the molecular level. He currently studies human cytomegalovirus with particular attention to mechanisms of viral latency. His laboratory is defining the regulatory mechanisms that govern expression and maintenance of the cytomegalovirus genome in latently infected monocytes and their precursors, using genetically engineered viruses.
