Overview
AIM
Dissect processes during the viral replication cycle employing functional, dynamic and structural analysis.
Employed pathogens
Please meet our favorite 'pets':
- Pestiviruses, important pathogens of cloven-hooved animals
- PRRSV (short for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus), a major swine pathogen within the family Arteriviridae
- Lyssaviruses, grouping viruses with the potential to cause rabies
Technical repertoire
The foundation of our work are classical molecular virology approaches.
Our special technical knowledge consists of
Structure determination by cryo electron tomography and subtomogram averaging
Knock-out screens in non-model organisms
Live cell imaging of virus entry events
