Funded Activity Summary
Regulation of DNA synthesis and host evasion by Lentivirus Capsids. This project aims to investigate how a type of virus, exemplified by HIV, can synthesise DNA in the cytoplasm of a host cell, without triggering the cell’s innate immunity when DNA is detected outside the nucleus. It expects to advance understanding of the role of the virus’ protein shell in regulating DNA synthesis during infection. The project outcomes should include enhanced capacity for fundamental virus and cell biology research in Australia. The project anticipates contributing to new tools for delivering genes to cells, benefiting therapeutic and biotechnology applications.Funded Activity Details
