For the 4th consecutive year, #DukeSurgery ranked #1 among surgery department in NIH funding to support critical advancements in surgical science. “Scientific research amplifies life-saving care.” – Dr. Allan D. Kirk, Chair, Duke Surgery Read more: duke.is/6/b3zf
Everyone attending #BPS2024 stop by my colleague Sangita Kachhaps poster describing her impressive work on HIV-1 Env bnAb encounter states! More great work out of the @DukeHIVStrucBio @DHVI_Struc_Bio and @TheDHVI collaboration!
Happy to share our time-resolved SAXS manuscript is now available at @ScienceAdvances! We use time-resolved temperature-jump SAXS to identify microsecond timescale intermediates early in HIV-1 Envelope opening! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Check out this publication in @JoVEJournal from our Collaborative Development Awardee Luiza Mendonca @luizammend describing a method for preparation of samples for in situ cellular cryotomography and correlative imaging of adherent mammalian cells. jove.com/t/65697/sample…
Please join me and @AmitSharmaOSU in Palm Springs for this fun #retrovirus meeting with a fantastic line up of keynote speakers, including @PriyamvadaA_Lab @Rahm_Gummuluru @Xiongosome !
Check out this study led by Collaborative Development Awardee Dr. Maolin Lu, describing a new method and tools for studying HIV-1 Env dynamics. cell.com/cell-chemical-…
How does an antibody encounter its antigen? This is the question @RoryCHenderson and colleagues asked in this new study.
