The Andersen Lab at Scripps Research in La Jolla, CA is a renowned research laboratory dedicated to studying the emergence, evolution, and outbreak response of various viruses, including arenaviruses, filoviruses, coronaviruses, orthopoxviruses, and arboviruses. Through a combination of computational biology, experimentation, and fieldwork, the lab aims to transform outbreak response strategies and develop effective countermeasures. They employ an integrated approach of computation, genomics, and large-scale data analysis to tackle questions related to virus diagnosis, resistance development, and the development of vaccines and medicines.
Established in 2015, the Andersen Lab is committed to open data and open science, actively collaborating across scientific disciplines. They are involved in several research initiatives, including the Global Health Initiative, the Center for Viral Systems Biology, and the WestNile 4K Project. With a strong emphasis on quantitative approaches, the lab's research spans microbiology, human immunology, and genetics, aiming to advance our understanding of viruses and their impact on public health.
