Professor Nora Chapman is a Research Scientist at the University of Nebraska
Enterovirus Research Laboratory and Associate Professor at the
University of Nebraska Medical Centre.
Professor Chapman studies persistent coxsackie infections in
murine models of chronic myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy.
She and her associates have demonstrated that selection of defective
enterovirus in heart and other tissues leads to persistent
infections despite active antiviral immune responses.
Dr. Chapman is
presently studying the mode of selection of these viruses and the
effects of replication of these viruses upon infected cell function.
Dr. Chapman and her associates at the University of Nebraska are
further investigating Dr. John Chia’s work in regards to enterovirus
in the gut biopsies.
