About

Susanne M. Bailer is a leading virologist whose research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of virus-host interactions, with a particular emphasis on herpesviruses. Her major contributions lie in developing and applying high-throughput methodologies to map the complex networks of protein-protein interactions that govern viral infection and replication. Bailer’s seminal work, "A High-Throughput Yeast Two-Hybrid Protocol to Determine Virus-Host Protein Interactions" (2013, 15 citations), established a robust, scalable platform for systematically identifying binary interactions between viral and host proteins. This protocol has become a cornerstone in the field, enabling researchers to dissect the structure and function of viral proteins and uncover novel therapeutic targets. Beyond this, Bailer has advanced our understanding of viral entry, assembly, and egress, with her studies on herpes simplex virus capsid dynamics and tegumentation earning recognition. Her work has garnered over 1,500 citations, reflecting its lasting impact on virology. Bailer’s dedication to open-source tools and collaborative science has made her a respected figure, inspiring students to explore the intricate dance between viruses and their hosts.
