Research Contributions

Ann Palmenberg studies within the realms of Virology and Microbiology. She has invented several technologies for research in science, as well as been published several times within scientific journals and magazines, specifically related to her work with rhinovirus (the common cold). Ann Palmenberg works specifically with the genomics of viruses such as rhinovirus. Much of the research done by Dr. Palmenberg's research group relates to mutations made through protein synthesis and RNA translation of viruses. This type of research works toward finding a viral vaccines for constantly changing viruses, such as rhinovirus and HIV.
