Educational Background

PhD, Biomedical Science, University of South Carolina, School of Medicine, 2000
BS, Microbiology, Colorado State University, 1993

Biography

Dr. Gowen specializes in pre-clinical development of antiviral therapies for the treatment of arenaviral and bunyaviral hemorrhagic fever agents, innate immunity to viral infections, modeling viral diseases, and virus-host cell interactions.

Research Interests

The Gowen laboratory studies various New World arenaviruses (Junín, Pichinde, Tacaribe), the Old-World LCM arenavirus, and several bunyaviruses (Rift Valley fever, Heartland, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome, Oropouche, La Crosse, and New World hantaviruses), with an emphasis on developing countermeasures to prevent and treat the diseases they cause.
