Question
1) Find and list the total citations and H-indexes for three professors working in GMU in the Biology/Medicine fields, and briefly describe their research programs (any three professors except Dr. Baranova and Dr. Chandhoke)
2) GMU professors in Biology/Medicine area founded companies or are the members of Scientific Advisory Boards of the companies. Finds three Company/Professor pairs and describe the research goals/missions of these companies (any three professors and associated companies except Dr. Baranova and Dr. Chandhoke)

To understand host responses to infection by bunyaviruses such as Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV), alphaviruses such as Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV) and human retroviruses such as HIV. Additionally to understand the influence of phosphor signaling events taking place in the host and its correlation with replication of a virus.Another research focus is to study the exosomes which are produced in the virus-infected cells and with the information gain by study discover novel disease/pathogen-specific biomarkers, vaccine, and therapeutic candidates.

Research program:
Our goal is to identify cytoskeletal factors that play pivotal roles in HIV-1 replication and determine the functions of these factors. Much of our research is now focusing on the upstream factors of Cofilin, those being LIMK1/2, p21-activated kinases, and certain cellular phosphatases, among others. Emergently, our goal is to create a framework of understanding on which the development of anti-HIV pharmaceuticals can proceed. In this endeavor, we have sought a degree of reproducibility and accuracy in our research constituting a standard of research quality to which all of our findings are subject.

Research program:
The main focus of our lab is to understand the role of host exosomes during infection with Yersinia pestis (Yp), the agent of plague, and the Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV).Both agents are classified as highest priority (Category A) pathogens, and there are no approved human vaccines or highly effective therapeutics currently available. Our lab also use a novel reverse phase protein microarray (RPMA) platform to quantitatively survey intracellular protein pathway modulation across the cell in response to infection with Yp,
