Interests: building gene delivery vectors by packaging recombinant viral RNAs in stable capsids

Research Interest: I'm studying the process of viral RNA encapsidation. How does the size of the RNA affects its encapsidation? How does the RNA size affects the capsid size?

Research Interest: I am interested in the self-assembly of virus capsid proteins around nanoemulsions.

[We began a previous research summary with the phrase "Certainly one of the most intriguing facts about viruses is that", but we nevertheless begin this one that way as well, because we find that almost every aspect of virus formation is remarkable.]
