Proteins need to be correctly folded to carry out their biological function. Failure to fold leads to aberrant protein conformations that have an increased tendency to aggregate and have deleterious effect on cell viability. Eukaryotes have developed a sophisticated protein quality control (QC) system that protects cells from misfolded or incompletely synthesized polypeptides that would otherwise ...

A major challenge in combating significant human pathogens is the inherent variation of viruses that can evolve to evade the host immune response and antiviral treatment strategies. Our research proposes an interdisciplinary approach to identify novel antiviral targets by interrogating the host cell biology of infection by influenza A virus (IAV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C ...
