Carol Reiss

Carol Reiss is a Professor of Biology at New York University, affiliated with the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences. Her research interests include viral immunology, with a focus on innate immunity, neuroimmunology, cellular signaling, and molecular aspects of infection. She has contributed to the field through editorial roles in several scientific journals and has been involved in organizing conferences on molecular aspects of viral immunity. Reiss has also served in various academic and administrative capacities at NYU, including as Director of the NYU Science Training Enhancement Program. Her work has addressed topics such as viral infection of the central nervous system and the role of innate immunity in host responses.

Carol Shoshkes Reiss is a Professor of Biology and Neural Science at New York University, specializing in Innate Immunity, Viral Immunology, and Neuroimmunology. Her research explores the interplay between viral infections and the immune system, particularly focusing on the central nervous system. She investigates how immune responses, including interferon-γ and nitric oxide, influence viral replication and neuroinflammation. Her work also addresses sex differences in viral susceptibility and the role of neurotropic viruses in brain pathogenesis. Reiss's studies contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms of immune defense and their implications in neurological diseases.
