Ian Goodfellow

Ian Goodfellow is a Fellow at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the School of Biological Sciences. His research focuses on virology, with particular emphasis on the molecular mechanisms viruses use to translate and replicate their genomes. His work includes studies on Noroviruses, members of the Caliciviridae family, and hepatitis E virus. His research areas also encompass gastroenteritis, capacity building, and related techniques such as proteomics and sequencing.

Prof. Ian G Goodfellow is a researcher specializing in virology, with a focus on drug discovery and antiviral development. His work explores the molecular mechanisms of viral infections, particularly in the context of SARS-CoV-2 and other RNA viruses. He investigates how viral mutations affect transmissibility, pathogenicity, and immune evasion, as well as the role of host factors in viral replication and transmission. His research also includes the development of diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for viral diseases, such as the identification of cis-acting replication elements and the analysis of viral genome evolution. Goodfellow's studies contribute to understanding the dynamics of viral outbreaks and improving public health responses.
