We use methods in molecular biology, immunology, and structural biology to study host-pathogen interactions, with the goal of informing strategies aimed at treating or preventing infection. Several enveloped RNA viruses cause human viral hemorrhagic...

My laboratory employs approaches rooted in synthetic immunology as a means of engineering or enhancing the natural immune system with the goal of understanding, preventing and treating HIV infection. We are currently applying these approaches to a number...

We are interested in the mechanisms that direct development and degeneration of the central nervous system (CNS) of vertebrates. We are focusing our studies on the vertebrate retina, a relatively simple and well-characterized area of the CNS. We have used...
Our research centers on elucidating molecular mechanisms of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) viral entry -- that is, how HIV enters host cells and how the viral envelope protein interacts with host cellular receptors. Insights gained from these studies...
