Biography
Greg Moseley is head of the Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory. After graduating with BSc (Hons) from the University of York, UK, he undertook research toward a PhD at The University of Sheffield in the UK and the Walter & Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne on the roles of tetraspanin proteins in immunology and infection.Greg was subsequently awarded a fellowship from The Royal Society (UK) which enabled him to undertake postdoctoral research in immunology at the Austin Research Institute (Melbourne). He later moved to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Monash University to pursue research investigating the mechanisms of subcellular protein trafficking.
At Monash he established an independent research laboratory bringing together his research expertise in virology, protein trafficking and immunology to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying viral immune evasion and pathogenicity. Greg also undertook fellowship research in CNRS (France) and Gifu University (Japan). In 2013 Greg was awarded the Grimwade Fellowship and relocated his laboratory to the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Bio21 Institute (The University of Melbourne).
In 2017, he was recruited back to Monash to join the Department of Microbiology within the Infection and Immunity theme in the Biomedicine Discovery Institute. His laboratory will build new capacity in the areas of Molecular Virology, Pathogen-Host Interactions, and the Molecular Basis of Infectious Disease. The overarching aim of the research is to define the fundamental processes underlying infection by highly lethal pathogens such as rabies virus, Australian bat lyssavirus, Nipah and Hendra viruses, and Ebola virus, and to use this knowledge to develop new vaccines and therapeutics for currently incurable viral diseases.
