Research Interests

Dr. Miyazaki joined the Division of Animal Infectious Diseases at NIAH in 2002. Since then, her research has focused on understanding the molecular epidemiology, pathophysiology, and immunology of swine enteric viruses such as rotavirus and enteric coronaviruses. She is particularly interested in developing preventive measures against these enteric viruses.
