similar too. I’ll then move on to different ways scientists and physicians are trying to use them to better understand and treat diseases such as cancer.
Dr. Johnson obtained a PhD from Arizona State University from the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering with a focus on virology. He specializes in members of the Orthopoxvirus genus, which members include smallpox virus, monkeypox virus, and vaccinia virus. Brian’s research focuses on how these viruses evade the antiviral defenses of the cells they invade, with the goal of identifying novel means of disease prevention and treatment.
In addition to his research, Brian is dedicated to science outreach. His largest project is organizing STEM programming at Phoenix Fan Fusion (formerly Phoenix Comicon). Since 2015 this programming has been seen by over 20,000 Fan Fusion attendees. For more information, check out www.RealTimeSTEAM.org.
