Physical Constraints on the Evolution of Viral Entry
Offered By: Georgia Tech Research via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the physical constraints on viral entry evolution in this 53-minute seminar presented by Dr. Peter Kasson, Professor at Georgia Tech and Emory University. Delve into cutting-edge research on biological membrane structure, dynamics, and fusion, with a focus on how viruses infiltrate cells. Learn about innovative experimental and computational approaches used to measure viral fusion rates, characterize fusion mechanisms, and model large-scale biomolecular and lipid assemblies. Discover how these insights contribute to predicting pandemic outbreaks and drug resistance, particularly for Zika, SARS-CoV-2, and influenza pathogens. Gain valuable knowledge from an international leader in the field of virology and biophysics as he shares his expertise on this critical aspect of viral evolution and infection.
