About John
John Anderson is a Research Associate in the laboratory of Dr. Jeffrey Wilusz. He has studied RNA, viral RNA, and mRNA decay in Dr. Wilusz's lab over the last 15 years. John has worked on studying how viruses interact with the human cellular machinery and elucidated how many viruses overcome the RNA decay machinery inside human cells.
