    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Rotaviruses possess unique molecular and replication properties.
    • Outer capsid proteins (VP4, VP7) share similarities with other viruses.
    • Rotavirus morphogenesis involves budding through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the structure and function of rotavirus genes and proteins.
    • To understand unique aspects of rotavirus morphogenesis and replication.
    • To identify targets for improved vaccine development.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of rotavirus gene and protein structures.
    • Investigation of viral glycoproteins in ER budding and maturation.
    • Characterization of neutralizing epitopes on outer capsid proteins.
