Structural Studies of Enveloped Viruses and Structure-Based Vaccine Design
Ye Xiang of Tsinghua University in China will study enveloped virus glycoprotein structures as a means to better understand the mechanisms by which enveloped viruses infect their hosts. The results obtained will contribute to the general knowledge of enveloped virus infection and maturation in addition to providing important information for vaccine and viral drug design for enveloped viruses such as HIV.
