Five-decade poliovirus review highlights intracellular replication mechanisms and broader influence on virology.
This article provides a historical overview of the author's five decades of research on poliovirus and its impact on virology.
Informs current clinical management of enteroviral infections; extends foundational research on poliovirus intracellular replication.
In this article, I review highlights of my academic background and scientific journey in pursuit of understanding all things related to poliovirus and the molecular mechanisms that lead to an amazingly successful intracellular replication cycle. Although it is not possible to describe all my lab's research findings during the past five decades, I attempt to cover some of our major accomplishments and how they have influenced the field of virology as well as other areas of science.
