Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Research in the Panfil laboratory focuses on pathogenesis of the oncogenic retrovirus human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) where we utilize molecular tools, coupled with both in vitro and in vivo models of infection and disease. Ongoing projects include development of mRNA vaccines against HTLV-1 infection and disease development, the role of RNA m6A modification in HTLV-1 pathogenesis, relevance of the arginine methyltransferase enzyme PRMT5 on HTLV-1 disease progression, and the role of virally encoded Hbz protein and RNA during HTLV-1 persistence and disease development.
