Dr Joanne Haney finished her PhD and her research was published in Nature Microbiology in October 2022. Read the paper here: Coinfection by influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus produces hybrid virus particles | Nature Microbiology

Watch Jo discuss this research which involved coinfection of human lung cells with Influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus. By using lots of imaging techniques, she could see how the viruses interacted and the consequences this came with.

The study revealed the existence of hybrid virus particles, containing structural and genome components from both viruses. These result in functional consequences and altered biological properties.
