'A virus is bad news wrapped up in proteins' Sir Peter Medawar.
Viral RNA is 'at the heart' of virus infection and, therefore, the interactions that it establishes with the host cells are critical for the viral life cycle. Our goal is to uncover the molecular mechanisms underpinning these poorly characterized host-virus interactions and explore their therapeutic potential.

The Castello lab is funded by the vRNP-capture ERC Consolidator grant to discover the viral and cellular proteins that engage with viral RNAs in infected cells. Our data suggest that viruses from different families hijack a highly overlapping set of cellular RNA-binding proteins that play central roles in the viral life cycle. This opens
The Castello lab is funded by the vRNP-capture ERC Consolidator grant to discover the viral and cellular proteins that engage with viral RNAs in infected cells. Our data suggest that viruses from different families hijack a highly overlapping set of cellular RNA-binding proteins that play central roles in the viral life cycle. This opens the possibility to identify host targets for broad spectrum antiviral therapies.
