University of Arizona
Felicia Goodrum, Ph.D., is a professor in the department of immunobiology at the University of Arizona. Her research program is focused on virus-host interactions important for herpesviral latency. Her laboratory has identified viral genes and the host pathways they target to define the biology important to infection in important contexts of infection, including hematopoietic cells. These host pathways include homeostatic signaling regulating proliferation and differentiation, DNA damage and repair responses and lipid and cholesterol metabolism.
Her work has been recognized through Leukemia and Lymphoma Society fellowships, the Howard Temin Award from the National Cancer Institute, the Pew Scholar in Biomedical Sciences Award, Kavli Young Investigators Award, the Presidential Award for Early Career Scientists and Engineers and an NIH MERIT award. She is Past-President of the American Society for Virology (2022) and Co-Editor in Chief for the Journal of Virology. Goodrum is also dedicated to science advocacy.
