Dr. Carnaccini's primary research focus on studying the pathogenesis and biology of avian viral infectious diseases and the development of improved diagnostic virology platforms. Her current projects include avian influenza at the wildlife-poultry-human interface, avian Metapneumovirus, and Egg Drop Syndrome (Duck Adenovirus A). Her collaboration include the development and testing of avian organoids as a platform to study the pathogenesis of various avian viral diseases.
