Adam Geballe's research has primarily focused on the mechanisms used by human cytomegalovirus to evade the host immune response. In particular, his group has identified and characterized the process by which the viral proteins pTRS1 and pIRS1 interfere with the host sensing of RNA mediated by the sensor PKR.[3][4] Additionally, his group researches poxvirus evasion of host immune responses, as well as various aspects of how viruses interact with host translational machinery.[5] His most cited paper is Upstream open reading frames as regulators of mRNA translation,[6][7]
