Description:

This Third Coast CFAR event will feature Wes Sundquist, PhD, who will speak about the structure and function of the conical core of the mature infectious HIV-1 virus. Dr. Sundquist is Samuels Distinguished Professor and chair of biochemistry at the University of Utah, and director of the NIH U54 CHEETAH Center for the Structural Biology of HIV Infection, Restriction, and Viral Dynamics. To address long-standing questions in HIV research, the Third Coast CFAR is seeking to build closer ties and collaborations between scientists associated with the CFAR and other NIH-funded centers, including the CHEETAH Center. This seminar offered by the CFAR’s Viral Pathogenesis Core aims to bridge those connections.
