Genoyer Lab
I'm thrilled to announce I'll be joining the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at the University of Florida in January 2026! My lab will study RNA virus-host interactions with a particular focus on the spatial regulation of viral replication and innate immune activation. genoyerlab.com

This work was led by Claire O'Brien, our amazing Research Assistant who has learned every molecular virology technique under the sun in putting this together. I bring it up because she is applying for grad schools this fall and would be an amazing addition to any program!

We believe these tools will be useful to adenovirologists, as well as those that simply use this powerful little virus as a vector. In the manuscript we demonstrate using the E4 region for multicistronic gene expression, as well as a single vector system for doxycycline-induced gene expression.

Using the amazing AdenoBuilder system we have constructed a set of fluorescent and bioluminescent Ad5 viruses. By exploiting the existing transcriptional units of the virus, our single color and dual color (early/late) reporters reflect the staging of the virus with wildtype replication kinetics.

So excited to see our newest study out in print! Led by the brilliant @jgezelle.bsky.social and @sophiekorn.bsky.social, we discovered how viruses from highly divergent families converge on a shared RNA structure mechanism to inhibit cellular nucleases. #RNAsky #LoveVirology

Yes! We bought a starter kit during the end of the pandemic but for various reasons never got around to using it. This first one operated like a charm, but a second expired one failed to reach 37C. Analyzing the data now to see if it's actually useable.
