John Connor

John Connor, PhD, is a Professor of Virology, Immunology & Microbiology at the Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine.  Connor studies viruses, the responses they provoke in an infected host, and how infected cells and organisms influence virus evolution. He is recognized for identifying biomarkers that define early stages of severe viral infections and for identifying prognostic biomarkers that predict disease outcome. Throughout his career, his collaborative work with other faculty in the BU community have driven the discovery of small molecules with antiviral activity and new approaches for imaging viruses and virus-infected cells. He not only lectures in the virology curricula, but also in general medical sciences and in biomedical engineering. He is a highly regarded mentor, participating in the mentoring of trainees from several disciplines spanning the medical school, College of Art & Sciences and College of Engineering, and has served on numerous outside examining committees.
