Event description: 

Robert is interested in retrovirus structure and assembly using single-particle cryo-EM, cryo-Electron Tomography, and subtomogram averaging. Robert is working to understand the mechanistic details of how the small cellular molecule Inositol Hexakisphosphate (IP6) promotes assembly and maturation of retroviruses like HIV-1. Also, he is studying the molecular details of viral target/drug interactions.
