We are structural biologists @TuftsMedSchool exploring how specific proteins contribute to the lifecycle of #herpesviruses. Postdoc-curated account.


Early-stage investigators proposed innovative high-impact research ideas for the @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: commonfund.nih.gov/newinnovator/A… #NIHHighRisk







Just spent the afternoon saying goodbye to the @HeldweinLab. How fast time flies. I started my postdoc with zero confidence I could ever land a job in academia. What a journey it’s been - looking forward to this next adventure! #newPI #AcademicChatter @PostdocVoice










Congratulations to our MD/PhD student @ZemplenPataki on this exciting study! Here, we propose a mechanism for how HSV-1 gH activates the fusogenic activity of gB - a pathway that could be shared by other gB homologs. #lovevirology #herpesvirus #teamentry








My 2nd first-author pre-print is now available. We found that HSV-1 viral entry glycoproteins interact extensively before and during fusion, refining our understanding of the molecular mechanism of HSV-1 membrane fusion @HeldweinLab #herpes #virology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
