Towards Synthetic Virology
Analytical Division Seminar Series
Viruses are remarkably plastic entities. New strains evolve constantly
driven by genetic drift
and iterative mutagenesis. Acceleration of
these evolutionary processes in a laboratory setting will greatly impact
our ability to understand molecular mechanisms underlying viral
infection as well as vector design for gene therapy applications. The
overarching goal of our lab is to combine the tools and principles of
molecular biology & genetics with chemistry & structural biology
to generate a synthetic viral toolkit. The resulting engineered viral
strains are utilized to unravel viral infectious pathways, provide novel
vectors for gene therapy and reagents for molecular genetics
applications.
