Deeper understanding. Better preparedness.
We discover and characterize emerging viruses to understand how they behave, anticipate what comes next, and develop better ways to respond.

ABOUT THE LAB
Palacios Lab is a research laboratory at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, led by Gustavo Palacios, PhD. We bring together virology, genomics, immunology, computational biology, and advanced experimental approaches to study emerging viral threats in depth. From their molecular characteristics and interactions with the host to the features that shape transmission, persistence, and disease.
MAJOR PROGRAMS
Research built for preparedness and response.
