Investigating the mechanisms of retrovirus budding and maturation using a combination of biochemistry, cell biology, and cryo-EM starting at @EmoryMedicine soon




Our latest paper describing our use of single particle #cryoEM to examine the HIV-1 capsid is out now in @PNAS! Here, we determined structures of continuous regions of the capsid lattice. (1/8) @RobDickLab

Great news: Rob Dick @RobDickLab is making the big move from Cornell to Emory U, as an Assist Prof at our Center of ViroScience and Cure!!! He'll further strengthen a world class drug discovery/basic science group that recently also recruited @michailidis_lab from Rockefeller U👍
