Funded Activity Summary

This proposal is focussed on understanding the precise shape of proteins that control the immune response to Epstein Barr Virus. EBV is an ubiquitous human pathogen that has been linked to a number of cancers. This research proposal will further our understanding of the immune response to EBV, which will lay the foundations for developing therapeutics against this disease.
