Flaviviruses must come of age: design of stable, mature particles by structural vaccinology [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2024 ]

Research Grant

Brief description We have established a powerful toolset combining advanced structural biology and rapid virus engineering that allows us investigate the assembly of flaviviruses in novel ways. This project will integrate these approaches to investigate the role of new ligands that we have identified in the structure of medically-relevant flaviviruses including dengue virus and delineate a novel maturation path for flaviviruses, which will be used to design safer and more effective flavivirus vaccines.
