Research Intrest

Matthew Wiebe research with vaccinia virus has led to the discovery that during replication of the viral DNA, vaccinia must evade a cellular protein called BAF, which would otherwise bind to the viral DNA and inhibit its replication. The virus evades BAF by inactivating its DNA binding capability via phosphorylation of BAF by a viral kinase
