The goal of the Strand Laboratory is to understand the cellular and molecular biology of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or bladder dysfunction. BPH/LUTS is present in the vast majority of men over 70 years old resulting in medical treatment or surgical intervention.

There has been much interest in using Dipteran model organisms to gain insights into arbovirus-host interactions and to explore eukaryotic antiviral innate immunity in general.

We have shown the A51R gene family to encode a group of highly conserved, microtubule-stabilizing virulence factors that, remarkably, promote virus replication in both Lepidopteran and vertebrate hosts. We are actively investigating how these fascinating proteins inhibit antiviral defenses in such disparate hosts.

We study how metabolic adaption promotes survival during sepsis and how the kidneys contribute to systemic metabolism during inflammation.
