The Wing Lab receives BBSRC New Investigator Award to investigate how cells sensing oxygen can impact zoonotic viral disease in bats
9 January 2026
The awarded project, titled 'Understanding the role of oxygen sensing in effective control of high-consequence viral pathogens', has been funded by a BBSRC (Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council) New Investigator Award. This funding will be used to investigate how divergent aspects of the cellular oxygen sensing pathway in bats impacts their ability to harbour pathogenic viral infections. This award expands the WIng Lab and their interests in molecular virology to understanding viral zoonosis in an important reservoir species.
