Dr. Selena M. Sagan, Ph.D. is a Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of British Columbia (UBC). After 10 years at McGill University (2013 – 2023), the Sagan Lab relocated to the University of British Columbia in summer 2023. The Sagan Lab studies positive-sense RNA viruses of the Flaviviridae family (including hepatitis C virus, dengue and Zika viruses) as well as respiratory viruses (including respiratory syncytial virus and human coronaviruses). With diverse interests spanning molecular virology and RNA biology, Dr. Sagan’s research program focuses on RNA-RNA and protein-RNA interactions at the host-virus interface.
