Lab Bench to Commercialization grant recipients announced
IMAGE: Provided Anand was awarded LB2C funding for his project titled “Targeting Virus Breathing Hotspots for Antibody Discovery.” Anand looks for vulnerabilities on a virus that could be tapped to generate antibodies for use in antiviral therapies. He is particularly interested in understanding the structural changes of viral surface proteins as the virus dissembles and enters human host cells. These structural changes — part of a process called viral breathing — could reveal critical locations — called epitopes — where antibodies can bind to the virus. Anand will then work with ...
