Alexander Ploss completed his Ph.D. in Immunology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Cornell University and postdoctoral training at The Rockefeller University in New York City. He was member of faculty at The Rockefeller University before joining Princeton University in 2013. Dr. Ploss is a Professor of Molecular Biology, member of the executive committee of the Center Health and Wellbeing, a fellow in the Program in Global Health and Health Policy at Princeton University and a faculty advisor at Forbes College. Dr. Ploss’ lab is interested in human-tropic viral pathogens, including but not limited to hepatitis viruses, classical flaviviruses such as Zika, yellow fever and dengue viruses – and since the beginning of the pandemic SARS-CoV-2. Research in the Ploss lab covers three main areas of investigation: Deciphering mechanisms of viral infection/replication, systematically identifying barriers preventing transmission of human viral pathogens to non-primate species and translating their discoveries into devising experimental systems that are suitable for dissecting host responses to these diseases.
