Professor Roger Hewson

Professor in Molecular Virology

United Kingdom

My work is focused on improving public health through research on virology, pathogenesis and new and emerging viruses. This includes basic and translational research, capacity building, training and education programmes in new emerging and/or zoonotic infections. I hold a joint position with the UKHSA which includes work with highly pathogenic viruses at high containment.
