Imaging the spatio-temporal regulation of single HIV-1 infection in living cells

Imaging the spatiotemporal regulation of single HIV-1 infection in living cells.

Speaker: Dr Ashwanth Francis, Emory University.

Francis and his colleagues are internationally leading in their work in this area and recently published a study here demonstrating the uncoating of viral capsids at the nuclear envelope.

Understanding the post-entry stages of retrovirus infections remains an intensively studied area, and Francis’ work not only embraces the utilisation of existing methods and tools but also includes the development of new ones.
