Cell entry and genome delivery of non-enveloped viruses
| Supervisor | Pavel Plevka, Ph.D. |
| Research Group | Structural Virology |
The postdoc will investigate how parvoviruses or polyomaviruses enter host cells and deliver their genomes. Using advanced cryo-electron microscopy and tomography, combined with fluorescence microscopy and molecular biology methods, the work will identify viral structural transitions and cellular factors that determine whether viral entry leads to productive infection or an abortive pathway.
