Funded Activity Summary

This proposal investigates processes that regulate the cell cytoskeleton to control shape and the dynamics membranes, with a view to developing a generic antiviral therapy. As viruses rely upon the cell cytoskeleton to initiate an infection, we posit that enzymes that control the cytoskeleton can be targeted to block infection.
