Fang Lab | College of Veterinary Medicine

Welcome to The Fang Lab

During the past 20 years, Professor Fang’s research has been focused on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms of viral pathogenesis, and applying the basic knowledge to develop vaccines and diagnostic assays. Current projects are directed to elucidate the persistent infection mechanism of swine arterivirus (PRRSV), develop novel mRNA-based influenza vaccine, and validate field-deployable nanosensor-based diagnostic assays for emerging swine viral pathogens. These projects have been supported by US Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Institute of Health (NIH), National Pork Board (NPB) and Swine Health Information Center (SHIC).

Pathobiology professor Ying Fang has worked to develop methods for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 in animals, which includes species like dogs and cats. The goal is to develop strategies for the prevention and control of infection in animal species. Fang works in her lab at Vet Med.
