Speaker: Shoken Lee, PhD

Presentation Title: Cellular defense against flavivirus entry: a non-enzymatic role of an enzyme

About the Speaker: Dr. Lee has investigated the mechanisms underlying organelle membrane dynamics across various cellular events during his PhD studies at the University of Tokyo and his postdoctoral work at Yale University. He recently transitioned from basic cellular biology to virology, focusing on how enveloped viruses, particularly flaviviruses, engage organelle membranes and machinery to drive infection, and how host cellular factors counteract it
