Researching ways to prevent and treat shingles, which brings a rash and possibly debilitating nerve pain, is the work of Jennifer Moffat, PhD Jennifer Moffat, PhD, an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Upstate. She describes how shingles can affect people with weakened immune systems and is most common in adults older than 50. Moffat\\u2018s laboratory is working on developing a drug to treat shingles that uses nanoparticles, tiny molecules designed to stick to the viruses and deliver the drug effectively. She also gives an overview of drugs used to treat and prevent shingles and tells what\\u2018s on the horizon., an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Upstate.
