His group performs both high-level experimental and computational work \u2013 a powerful combination that is critical to advancing our understanding of this important problem. His publications describe inventive approaches to the measurement of viral fusion rates and characterization of fusion mechanisms, and to the modeling of large-scale biomolecular and lipid assemblies. He has applied these insights to the prediction of pandemic outbreaks and drug resistance, with particular attention to Zika, SARS-CoV-2, and influenza pathogens in recent years.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute\u0027s interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member\u0027s research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u0022Physical Constraints on the Evolution of Viral Entry\u0022\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Physical Constraints on the Evolution of Viral Entry\u0022 - Peter Kasson, M.D., Ph.D. - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"35486","created_gmt":"2024-01-31 14:02:53","changed_gmt":"2024-02-06 14:37:11","author":"Christina Wessels","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-03-12T08:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2024-03-12T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-03-12T09:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-03-12 12:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-03-12 13:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-03-12 13:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building, 315 Ferst Drive NW, Suddath Seminar Room 1128, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
