Kevin Dalton is an Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the Asturias University Institute of Biotechnology (IUBA), Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Oviedo (Spain). Dr. Dalton obtained a BSc degree in Microbiology from the University of Queen’s (Belfast, UK) in 1995, and a PhD from the University of Cambridge (IAH Compton, UK) in 2000. He was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Deptartment of Pathology, School of Medicine at Yale University (USA), and later in the School of Animal and Microbial Sciences, at the University of Reading (UK). He has made seminal contributions to the lagomorph virology field, including the finding and characterization of an emerging variant of rabbit hemorragic disease virus (RHDV) in Spain and the elucidation of the molecular basis of myxoma virus species jump from the wild rabbit to the Iberian hare. His main research interests comprise the molecular aspects of virus replication, virus-host interactions, and the development of novel antiviral strategies and universal vaccines against several lagomorph viral pathogens.
