Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Richard Connor's research focuses on the interactions between viruses and the host immune system, particularly the type I interferon response. His work has investigated the role of the Myxoma virus, a poxvirus, in stimulating immune responses in human monocytes and macrophages. Specifically, his recent publications examine a modified Myxoma virus lacking the M062 host range determinant, demonstrating its ability to trigger a cGAS-dependent type 1 interferon pathway and elicit distinct transcriptomic changes in these immune cells.

Connor collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Martin J. Cannon, Eric C. Peterson, Bernice Nounamo, and Jason Liem, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 3, with a total of 3 publications cited 70 times.
