101: Structural Biology Insights into Ebola Virus with Erica Ollmann Saphire
Manage episode 226902436 series 1537292
Erica Ollmann Saphire discusses her research on Ebola virus glycoprotein and the changing nature of structural biology.
The Ebola virus glycoprotein sequence can vary up to 50% between Ebola virus species, presenting a challenge to develop pan-Ebola therapeutics or vaccines. Erica Ollmann Saphire discusses her work on antibodies that neutralize all Ebola virus species and the changing nature of the structural biology toolkit used to study them.
