Membrane-induced dynamic structure of the fusion peptide required for viral fusion and infection by SARS-CoV-2 (and other beta-coronaviruses)

Collaborative Opportunities:

  • Looking for investigators interested and able to test if the Spike fusion peptide is an antigen recognized by patient sera, other immune sera, or antibodies raised vs. Spike.
  • Seeking scientific expertise in antibody testing & development vs. the antigen from Spike that we are scrutinizing.

PI's Area(s) of Scientific Expertise:

  • Biomolecular recognition
  • NMR
  • Membrane interactions
  • Protein dynamics
