Robert G. Webster has made substantial contributions to the study of influenza viruses, with a particular emphasis on avian influenza. His research explores the complexities of host diversity, virus transmission, and adaptation, as evidenced by his recent studies on avian influenza virus activities in different environments, such as wetlands and live poultry markets, and the airborne transmission of swine H1N1 influenza variants. His work often employs innovative techniques, such as molecular detection and transcriptome analysis, to unravel the virus-host interactions and the evolutionary pathways of influenza viruses. Webster's studies have provided critical insights into the mechanisms of viral spread and the potential risks posed by zoonotic influenza strains.Aliases
