Robert Dick “Structural Analysis of HIV-1 Capsid Disruption by Lenacapvir Using Cryo-EM”

Event time: 
Monday, December 16, 2024 - 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Location: 
Brady Memorial Laboratory BML, Brady Auditorium See map

New Haven, CT 06510
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.
