Olivia Hatton

Research
Olivia’s scholarly interests lie at the intersection of immunology, cancer biology, and virology. She is currently studying post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), a life-threatening cancer that can arise in organ transplant recipients and is associated with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). Her research focuses primarily on understanding how EBV manipulates its host’s cell biology to evade detection from the immune system and to transform normal B cells into cancerous cells. Her current project focuses on understanding how an EBV viral protein (LMP1) and its host cell homolog CD40 signal to alter cellular metabolism.
