Visually decoding viruses: guarding the world from infections

In recent years, emerging zoonotic viruses such as Ebola virus and highly pathogenic avian influenza virus have posed serious threats to public health. However, effective countermeasures against these lethal pathogens remain limited. To address this challenge, a detailed understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying virus replication is essential. In my research, I employ various electron microscopy techniques to analyze the ultrastructure of virus-infected cells and the structure of virus components at nano- and angstrom-level resolutions. By visually elucidating in detail how distinct viral proteins cooperatively function within infected cells to form progeny virus particles, I aim to deepen our understanding of the complex processes governing virus replication and move one step closer to developing effective solutions.
