Abstract
GOTTLIEB: My group has established a comprehensive research program that includes industrial as well as academic subjects. Our virology research focuses upon viral structure, viral assembly, and pathogenicity. Specific projects are defining the replication and assembly mechanisms of Cystoviridae (bacterial reovirus), determining the viral relationships of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and elaborating upon the structure of influenza vaccine viral particles. We also collaborate with scientists in both the Earth Atmospheric and Space and Physics departments in order to study microbial-environmental interactions that focus on the influence of clay on the assembly of bacterial biofilms.
